? “whoever kills a person, unless for spreading mischief and murder, has killed all of mankind”
?2 problems with this. What does mischief mean? What context is it?
???????????????????????????????
Sayid ibn Jubayr said “"He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is like he who allows shedding the blood of all people”
Mujahid ibn Jabar said “He who kills a believing soul intentionally….is as if equal to if he had killed all people”
[Source , Tafsir ibn Kathir]
This is according the tafsir (a book which explains meaning of quran in context)
The Tabi’een above say the verse applies only to muslims, since its reffering to the killing of the son of Adam (saw), who was Muslim. Killing someone at his time could potentially wipe out makind (i.e “kill all of makind”), as their were few people back then.
Mujahid Ibn Jabar was the Student of Ibn Abbas, (cousin of the prophet)….he was a mufasir (person who knows meaning of quran in context).
Mujahid Ibn Jabar went through the Quran 30 times together and memorized the meanings with him, and Mujahid has the highest authority and authencity amongst muslim scholars.
(Sayid ibn Jubayr was Ayesha’s companion)

? The verse say’s killing someone who spread’s mischief is allright?:
Qatada, Prophets companion explains the definition of mischief in the Quran:
(And when it is said to them: "Do not make mischief on the earth,''), means, "Do not commit acts of disobedience on the earth. Their mischief is disobeying Allah, because whoever disobeys Allah on the earth, or commands that Allah be disobeyed, he has committed mischief on the earth. [Tafsir ibn Kathir]
???????????????????????????????
Further evidence is that the prophet said:
"A muslim can not be killed for killing a non muslim" (bukhari, muslim, dawud,tirmidhi).
Imam hanifa has the view that a muslim can be killed for killing a "Dhimmi" (as the prophet forbade killing them). Imam Shafi has the view that even if the person is a "Dhimmi"....no matter what, the muslim can not be killed.
