What is the ruling on killing a Qadiani who has given himself a name other than his own? And is it permissible to kill Salman Rushdie?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The ruling on the Qadiani who has given himself a name other than his own: he says to you, is he to be killed? Likewise, in the question regarding Salman Rushdie, is it permissible for them to kill him?
The Shaykh : My brother, the Qadiani is a disbeliever, and this one is a disbeliever. However, the authority to execute such judgments is not in our hands today, because in the lands of Islam, judgments are not executed by individuals. If the door to executing such judgments were opened to individuals, it would become a great fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the Muslims.
Glory be to You, O Allah.
