In his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): {Then I would go to a people who do not attend the congregational prayer, and I would burn their houses with fire}, this is cited as evidence for the permissibility of raiding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The brother Majhub yesterday said regarding the saying of the Messenger
and go to people who do not attend the prayer, and burn their houses down around them ثم أنطلق إلى قوم لا يشهدون الجماعة فأحرّق عليهم بيوتهم بالنار
Sunan Ibn Majah 791Sahih (Darussalam)
he said this is cited as evidence for the permissibility of raiding criminals and burning their houses. What is your opinion on this evidence or this derivation?

The questioner : It is cited as evidence for the permissibility of the intention.

The Shaykh : Sharafi?

The questioner : This is refuted from the hadith from several angles.

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : It is refuted from the hadith from several angles, one of which is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the ruler and the highest authority. This is the first angle. The second angle...

The Shaykh : Yes, he does not contradict. He says I want to raid the highest authority or the deputy of the highest authority. He does not want people to raid one another.

The questioner : The Prophet...

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it.

The Shaykh : Okay, that is one point.

The questioner : The Shaykh... said the poet: I intended but I did not do it... and he did not do it.

The Shaykh : Very well.

The questioner : And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I intended, but he did not do it.

The Shaykh : Okay, do you have it? ...

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : I mean, as the brothers said, he intended but did not do it. Yes, that is right. And one could say that perhaps what prevented him from doing so was the lack of a raid, that he did not raid and did not burn. There is no evidence in it, but the evidence is that if the indications of suspicion against a house are strong, then the one in authority should search and verify, even by raiding it. But we do not make it so that anyone who suspects a person raids him. This would... make the matter chaos.

The questioner : ... The second?

The Shaykh : What is the second?

The questioner : The second.

The Shaykh : And what is it?

The questioner : And it is...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : The brothers say he intended but did not do it.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The questioner : If you please, O Shaykh, may Allah bless you...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : The hadith. Can you repeat the previous lesson on sales? Many of the students... I myself did not understand, and some...

The Shaykh : I did not understand anything at all.

The questioner : No, I mean the lessons were not like the first ones.

The Shaykh : Very well.

The questioner : Like the past lessons.

The Shaykh : Yes, because transactions are not like acts of worship. Acts of worship are practiced by a person constantly, so he understands them beforehand. Okay.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : ... correct.
