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

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
