In the hadith of Usamah, when he killed the one who said, "There is no god but Allah," and he was ruled to be a Muslim, even though he was not washed, no funeral prayer was performed for him, and Usamah was not required to pay blood money, how is this?

The questioner : ... In the hadith of Usamah, when he killed the one who said, "There is no god but Allah," and he was ruled to be a Muslim, even though he was not washed, no funeral prayer was performed for him, and Usamah was not required to pay expiation?

The Shaykh : Usamah owes nothing because he was interpreting the situation; he was upon the original state of Islam.

The questioner : And no expiation?

The Shaykh : No expiation and nothing else; no right was established against him at all...
