The Shaykh :"And we hold that anyone who claims today that a religion other than the religion of Islam, such as Judaism or Christianity or anything else, is a valid religion acceptable to Allah is a disbeliever". Why? Because he is denying Allah, for Allah says:
And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him ومن يبتغ غير الإسلام دينا فلن يقبل منه
[Ali 'Imran 3:85]
. So he is a disbeliever because of his denial.
"And then if his origin was Muslim, he is given the opportunity to repent; if he repents, well and good, otherwise he is killed as an apostate, because he is denying the Qur'an".
I have this one memorized; I don't know if it is written down with you? Then it is memorized. And then if his origin was Muslim, he is given the opportunity to repent, meaning write it down.
"And then if his origin was Muslim, he is given the opportunity to repent; if he repents, well and good, otherwise he is killed as an apostate, because he is denying the Qur'an".
Good. And if his origin was a disbeliever and he claims that his religion is acceptable to Allah, is he given the opportunity to repent and killed? No, he is treated as a disbeliever; he is invited to Islam, and if he refuses, he is compelled to pay the jizyah, and if he refuses, he is fought. And success is from Allah.
