Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the current situation in Egypt, there is naturally a clash between the Central Security Forces.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : And the Islamic groups?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Naturally, there is a problem we are facing now, which is that people are being killed, whether from the Central Security Forces or from the Muslim youth.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Do these people fall under the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
When two Muslims confront each other with their swords, both the slayer and the slain are doomed to Hell-Fire. إذا التقى المسلمان بسيفَيهما ؛ فالقاتل والمقتول في النار
Sahih Muslim 2888b
?

The Shaykh : No, the hadith does not apply here, but the action of the Islamic Group is not correct.

The questioner : Well, do these people, regarding their ruling in death, for example, fall under His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining] وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:195]
?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Well, what is their ruling, O Shaykh? Do they die upon their intentions and are resurrected upon their intentions?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible, it is not permissible. Upon their intentions, yes.

The questioner : Resurrected upon their intentions?

The Shaykh : Yes, but the action is not permissible.
