Chapter: The Combatants from Among the People of Disbelief and Apostasy. And the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:33].
The Shaykh : ... corruption in the land, in terms of the disruption of security caused by them, because a person does not feel safe for himself or his property if armed people are threatening him and taking his money.
And His saying:
And as we see in the noble verse, it contains four punishments:
That they be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides, or they be exiled from the land.
And the scholars differed regarding this: is it for variety or for choice?

And if we make it for choice, it becomes subject to the Imam's choice, and if it is subject to his choice...
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land
