Fatwa #134221 October 2000Pakistan

Why is it that when a Muslim mentions to another that its ok to kill a Jew or a Christian if the attack Islam they say thats not allowed Islam. What is really allowed?

Question

Aren't we suppose to kill them because Allah has ordered us? If they believe in another religion like Hinduism, should we respect them unless they dont say anything about Islam or should we stay away from them. Some Muslims say we should respect them cos this is called caring for humanity.

Answer

The life of every human being is sacred.

It is not permissible to take away the life of any human being even though
he is a non-Muslim without the conditions stipulated in Shari'ah.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
