Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is one who claims prophethood to be killed?
The Shaykh : Yes, one who claims prophethood must be killed. But who kills him? Does everyone kill him? No, no one kills him except the one who has the authority to establish the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments). Yes, if it were the case that a person was alone with him in a place and killed him, and he was safe from any fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) resulting from that, then there is no harm, because his blood is permissible to be shed.
