Is the one from whom the disbelievers do not feel safe a Muslim?

The Shaykh : But what should be brought up regarding this issue is not what you quoted from al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him), So, is the one from whom the disbelievers do not feel safe a Muslim? We say: There is a distinction regarding the implication. If the non-Muslim is respected, meaning he is a dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection), a treaty partner, or a non-Muslim granted safe conduct, then his safety from the hand and the tongue is part of Islam. But if he is a harbi (a non-Muslim in a state of war), then his safety is not part of Islam, but rather taking him [as a captive] is part of Islam. Accordingly, there is a distinction regarding the implication.
