Does the killer and the killed become disbelievers?

The Shaykh : If someone asks, "Does the killer or the killed become a disbeliever?" the answer is: No, neither of them becomes a disbeliever, contrary to the position of the Khawarij (an early sect that declared sinners disbelievers). The evidence for their not being disbelievers is the saying of Allah the Exalted: up to His saying: Thus, He made the one who kills intentionally a brother to the one who was killed. Yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Regarding the Sacred Precinct, some scholars made an exception, saying: I have not found this issue settled in my view that the intended meaning is one who intends to commit injustice, because the texts are general: This is in Surat al-An'am, which is Meccan by consensus. However, if one of the scholars said: meaning one who combines his intention with the act of injustice, thus combining the intention with the act of injustice If someone asks, "What is the difference between the Sacred Precinct and other places?" we say the difference is that Allah said: the punishment will be more severe and greater, even if it does not increase in quantity, but it increases in quality.
