The sanctity of the blood and wealth of a Muslim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: The questioner asks for an explanation of this hadith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 25.
Answer: This hadith is authentic. It was narrated by the two Shaykhs, al-Bukhari and Muslim, in the two Sahihs, from the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:Sahih al-Bukhari 25.
This is to be understood according to its apparent meaning. If a person utters the two testimonies of faith, having not done so before, and establishes the prayer and pays the zakah, then he is considered a Muslim whose blood and wealth are forbidden to be taken, except by the right of Islam. That is, except for what Islam obligates upon him thereafter. For example, if he commits unlawful sexual intercourse, the hadd for zina is carried out against him: if he is a virgin, by flogging and exile; and if he is a married man, by stoning to death. And so it is with the remaining matters of Islam. This person who has embraced Islam, testified to this testimony, established the prayer, and paid the zakah is held accountable for the rights of Islam, while his blood and wealth are protected. This is unless he commits one of the nullifiers of Islam, or something that obligates the hadd against him.
And so is his statement in the other hadith from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3927Sahih (Darussalam).
This hadith is like that hadith. Whoever comes to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and faith in the message has entered into Islam. Then he is held accountable for the rights of Islam: he is required to perform the prayer, pay the zakah, fast, and perform Hajj, among other things. If he fulfills what Allah has obligated upon him, he is a true Muslim. If he refuses to do something, he is taken by the right of Allah in that matter, and he is compelled and forced to fulfill the rights of Allah that He has obligated upon His servants. This is the obligation upon everyone who enters the religion of Islam: to adhere to the rights of Islam. If he does not adhere to them, he is taken by the right of Islam.
I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.
أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله، ويقيموا الصلاة، ويؤتوا الزكاة، فإذا فعلوا ذلك عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم إلا بحق الإسلام، وحسابهم على اللهAnswer: This hadith is authentic.
