What is the ruling on eating the slaughter of the people of a country whose beliefs are corrupt?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, if the prevailing belief in a country is corrupt, and we know, for example, that several individuals from this country have corrupt beliefs, what is the ruling on the slaughter of one of them?
The Shaykh : Here, too, a very important issue arises: do these people, whose beliefs are corrupt, exit the fold of Islam because of this corruption, or do they not? If they exit the fold of Islam, their slaughter is not eaten; if they do not exit, their slaughter is eaten. Based on the first possibility, if we say that the corruption of their beliefs takes them out of Islam, we must look at whether our ruling that they have exited the fold of Islam is a correct ruling or contains some exaggeration or extremism. Here, some research is necessary. If these people, whom we described as having corrupt beliefs and that this corruption takes them out of the religion of Islam, have been confronted with the proof from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then the previous statement applies: their slaughter is not eaten. However, if we have not established the proof of Allah upon them, they remain in their ignorance and error within the fold of Islam, the rulings of Muslims apply to them, and their reckoning is with Allah, Lord of the Worlds, as long as we do not know that the proof of Allah has been established upon them. Is the answer clear?
