Continuation of the previous discussion regarding the statement of Musa (peace be upon him) in the hadith of intercession, “I killed a soul without being commanded to kill it.” Some cited this as evidence for the permissibility of killing a disbeliever in a state of weakness. Is this correct?

The Shaykh : That is, a disbeliever with whom we have a treaty, safe conduct, or protected status (dhimmah) is forbidden to be killed. But the one with whom we have no treaty, no safe conduct, and no protected status, who is at war with us and would kill us if he could, we kill him when we are able to do so. Yes.
