Explanation of the author's statement: "But the brotherhood of faith remains even with sins, as the Exalted said in the verse of retaliation"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right. The author said: "But the brotherhood of faith remains even with sins", meaning that the brotherhood between believers remains even with sin. So the fornicator is a brother to the chaste one, and the thief is a brother to the one who is content, is that not so? Yes, indeed. And the killer is a brother to the one who was killed, even though he is the doer of the sin. But the people of the Sunnah and the community do not declare anyone a disbeliever on the basis of sins and major sins in general. Rather, the brotherhood of faith remains even with sins, as Allah the Exalted said in the verse of retaliation: [Al-Baqarah 2:178].
What is the verse of retaliation? It is His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:178] "His brother" means the one who was killed; "his brother" means the one who was killed. And "he" refers to the killer, meaning that any killer who is forgiven should follow what is right and pay him with kindness.
The point of indication from this verse is that the doer of a major sin does not become a disbeliever. The reason for this is that Allah called the one who was killed the brother of the killer, even though killing is a major sin among the major sins by consensus. So did the brotherhood cease, while Allah says:?
Answer: No.
And the benefit of this is that if I see a sinner, I do not leave off greeting him; rather, I initiate the greeting to him, and there is no blame on me. Because those whom we were forbidden to initiate with the greeting are the disbelievers, such as the Jews and the Christians and others.
As for a Muslim man, even if he is an open sinner, what must I do? I must treat him as a believer. However, if the believer has not mixed harm with his faith, my treatment of him is stronger and my loyalty to him is more intense. Because, as we mentioned earlier, what is attached to a description increases with its increase and decreases with its decrease.
He said: "And as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hujurat 49:9]"
He said: There is a problem here: is plural, is dual, is that right? is dual. How can it be dual and plural and another dual, while the reference is the same?
We say: Because His saying: "A group" is a large number of people, is that not so? So it is correct for me to say: "They fought." And for this reason, Allah the Exalted said, meaning that the proof for this is His saying, the Exalted: [An-Nisa 4:102] and He did not say: "Did not pray." He said: [An-Nisa 4:102] So a group is a nation and a community, and for this reason the pronoun returned to it in the plural: .
[Al-Hujurat 49:9].
Two groups among the believers fought, and they took up arms against each other. Taking up arms against a believer, or rather a believer fighting a believer, what is that? It is disbelief. Is that right? And insulting him is open sinfulness.
And despite this, Allah said.
But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up
فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفWhat is the verse of retaliation? It is His saying, the Exalted:
O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى الحر بالحر والعبد بالعبد والأنثى بالأنثى فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْء فاتباع بالمعروفThe point of indication from this verse is that the doer of a major sin does not become a disbeliever. The reason for this is that Allah called the one who was killed the brother of the killer, even though killing is a major sin among the major sins by consensus. So did the brotherhood cease, while Allah says:
from his brother

He said: "And as Allah the Exalted said:
And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two
وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَاHe said:
They fought
اقتتلواThen make peace between them.
فأصلحوا بينهماThey fought
اقتتلواBetween them
بينهماTwo groups
طائفتانWe say: Because His saying:
Two groups
طائفتانand have the other group come forward which has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you
وَلْتَأْتِ طَائِفَةٌ أُخْرَى لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَلْيُصَلُّوا مَعَكَwhich has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you
لمْ يُصَلُّوا فَلْيُصَلُّوا مَعَكَThey fought
اقتتلواBut if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah. And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah
فإن بغت إحداهما على الأخرى فقاتلوا التي تبغي حتى تفيء إلى أمر الله فإن فاءت فأصلحوا بينهما بالعدل وأقسطوا إن الله ..Two groups among the believers fought, and they took up arms against each other. Taking up arms against a believer, or rather a believer fighting a believer, what is that? It is disbelief. Is that right? And insulting him is open sinfulness.
