The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, no. Fighting a Muslim is not like fighting a disbeliever. You fight a Muslim because he has neglected one of the symbols of Islam, and you do not make his women, his offspring, or his land lawful. But you fight a disbeliever because he has abandoned Islam entirely, and for this reason, his women, his offspring, and his land are made lawful.
