Summary
A kafir harbi refers to a non-Muslim who has no guarantee of protection from Muslims, who wages war against Islam and does harm to Muslims. The label may not be applied to non-Muslim citizens of a country who respect its constitution and obey its laws. In the present day, the fatwa includes among this category the Zionists who have killed Muslims and seized and expelled the Palestinians from their homes and homeland.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Label ini tidak boleh untuk ditujukan kepada mana-mana warganegara bukan Islam di sesebuah negara yang menghormati perlembagaannya dan mematuhi undang-undangnya.
