Allah says

{يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ} [الحجرات: 13

{O people! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and We made you into peoples and tribes that you may know one another, Indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most pious of you.} [Al-Hujurat: 13]

Allah says

مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا {المائدة:32}

Whoever kills a soul for anything other than manslaughter or corruption on earth,   It is as if he had killed all of mankind, and whoever saves a life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind. {Al-Maidah: 32}

Among the five major goals in Islam: self-preservation

How does Islam require self-preservation, when there is killing in the name of God in Islam?

To take a look about the 5 Goals in Islam, please for:

The preserving oneself in Islam requires:

1 - To protect yourself from intentional killing if you do not require it, such as: euthanasia - suicide in any form.

2- Preserving oneself through marriage

3- Preserving self-dignity and not causing slander or accusation

4 - And then preserving the lives of others as well: (None of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself), narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

So what happens when Muslims kill each other, or kill people of other religions?

From Muslim to Muslim:

And in the hadith: If the people of heaven and the people of earth shared in blood, God would throw them into Hell. Narrator, : Abu Saeed and Abu Hurairah | Updated: Al-Mundhiri | Source: Intimidation and intimidation Page or number: 3/276 | Summary of the hadith’s ruling: [Its chain of transmission is authentic, hasan, or something similar]

And in the other hadith

Whoever helps in killing a Muslim, even with half a word, will come on the Day of Resurrection with a written sign between his eyes: He is hopeless of God’s mercy.

Allah says

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَن يَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَأً ۚ وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا خَطَأً فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ وَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ إِلَّا أَن يَصَّدَّقُوا ۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَّكُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَاقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ ۖ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةً مِّنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا (92) وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا. (93)

It is not permissible for a believer to kill another believer except by mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, the freeing of a believing slave will be done as blood money and delivered to his family unless they give in charity, If he is from a people who are enemies to you and he is a believer, then free a believing slave, and if there is a treaty between you and a people, then a ransom is due to his family and free a slave, whoever does not find it, then fast for two consecutive months out of repentance from God, and Allah is Knowing, Wise (92) and whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, And God became angry with him, cursed him, and prepared for him a great punishment. (93)

Surah An-Nisa and Surat Al-Tawbah expose the hypocrites, so whoever wants to clear himself of hypocrisy should present his work to these two surahs:

In the context of the file at hand, killing a believer in Islam is forbidden except in limited cases, and this verse guides us to:

The Manslaughter

1 - A believer should not kill another believer except by mistake, such as in self-defense or otherwise.

2 - Whoever made a mistake in killing this believer must free one of the slaves, and this is an impossibility in our lives now due to the high prices, agreements between countries, etc. + blood money is paid to the family of the murdered person, unless they refuse to accept the blood money.

3 - For a believer among real enemies of Muslims: If the believer commits the crime of murder in this case: The believer must free one of the slaves.

4 - There is a covenant between you and them: as states and states or large groups and groups or tribes and tribes... etc.: If you kill a believer by mistake, you must pay blood money to the family of the killed person, freeing one of the slaves or fasting for two consecutive months (we fast an entire month (the month of Ramadan with difficulty)) in order to repent only from the blood of a believer.

As for the intentional killing of a believer

His reward is Hell + the wrath of God descends on him + curse from God “expulsion from mercy” + great torment.

From Muslim to non Muslim:

First: Killing a non-Muslim, a non-combatant

Ibn Abi Zaid Al-Maliki said in the message

Premeditated murder: intentional killing with the victim's oversight. there is no pardon in it, neither for the guadians, nor for the ruler, nor for the murdered person, even after executing his fighter even if the person killed was an infidel and the killer was a free Muslim, because killing him in this manner is in the sense of hostility,

The Malikis supported this doctrine with many narrations, including what Al-Bayhaqi narrated that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, refused to accept the excuse of Al-Harith bin Suwayd, who killed Al-Mujaddir bin Ziyad ( Ghaylah: The victim was killed while he was unaware)

From the hadith of Abdullah bin Amr, may God be pleased with them both, he said:

Whoever kills a covenanter will not smell the scent of Paradise, even if its scent is present from a distance of forty years.

Narrated by Al-Bukhari, and in Al-Nasa’i and other hadiths from Abu Bakra, may God be pleased with him, who said:

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Whoever kills a covenanter in a state other than his identity, God will forbid him Paradise.

In Sunan Abu Dawud, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:

Except whoever wrongs a person who has made a covenant, breaks a contract with him, burdens him beyond his capacity, or takes something from him without his consent, then I will be his plea on the Day of Resurrection.

He said in the explanation of Sunan Abu Dawud:

A covenant is someone with whom you have a covenant. Most of what is used in the hadith refers to the people of the Dhimmah, and it may also be used to refer to other infidels if they agree to abandon war for a certain period. I finish.

Second: Killing a non-Muslim warrior

If the infidel is seeking safety, it is not permissible to kill him.

Because this is betrayal and treachery, so if there is a covenant between you and him, you must turn to him and tell him, that there is no longer a covenant between you and me, then you fight him, but if he is an infidel at war on the battlefield, then it is permissible to kill him, and there is no problem with that.

Who deserves the punishment of death in Islam?

As for the punishment of death in Islam, it is based on three: the married adulterer, a life for a life, and the one who abandons his religion and separates from the community, for this reason, see in detail in Fatwa: 17567. And in the jurisprudential laws of Ibn Jazi al-Maliki and other books of jurisprudence.

the killer

The killer is killed for what he was killed with. If the killed person was a free man, then a free man will be killed in his place, and if he was a slave, then a slave will be killed in his place.

And the adulterer

 He is killed by stoning

The one who abandons his religion and separates from the group

The one who abandons Islam by apostasy

The followers of AlSunna and Algamaa

What is meant is that murder, adultery, and other major sins are all under the will of God -the almighty - according to the Sunnis, if God Almighty decrees that he enter Hell, then it is an entry that has an end, He will be tortured therein to an end, then God will take him out of it if he died following monotheism and Islam, and only those who are disbelievers will live there forever. We ask God for well-being.

And eternity is two eternities

 The eternity of the infidels, and this is an eternity that has no end, rather they are in it forever and ever - we seek refuge in God -, and there is an eternity that has an end, which is the eternity of the sinner like the adulterer, And the killer, he said: And he will abide therein in humiliation [Al-Furqan: 69] meaning an eternity that has an end, meaning he will reside therein for a long period of time which God Almighty has decreed for him in His wisdom, Glory be to Him and Most High, then after the end of the period God will take him out of Hell to Paradise; Because he died following monotheism and Islam.

The Khawarij said

 Whoever disobeys disbelieves and will remain in Hell forever. If he were a Muslim who testified that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, they would say: This sin takes him out of the circle of Islam, according to them, if he commits adultery it is disbelief, if he steals it is disbelief, if he disobeys his parents it is disbelief, and so on, and if he dies according to this he will remain in hell forever.

The Mu'tazilites agreed with the Kharijites regarding the rule of the afterlife

They said: In this world, he is in a position between two positions: neither an infidel nor a Muslim, but rather in between, but if he dies committing sin, he will remain in hell forever, as the Kharijites say, and this is a false statement, like the one before it, both statements are false and contradict what is indicated by the authentic and mutawatir Sunnah, that is, the sinner is under the will of God. If our Lord, Glory be to Him, wills, He will pardon him for the good deeds he has done, He performed good deeds, and if God Almighty wished, He would punish him according to the amount of sin for which he died, or the sins for which he died, then he ended up in Paradise, because he died following monotheism and Islam.
