If a Muslim kills a kafir in an Islamic state, what is the punshment?
Answer
The life of a non-Muslim living in an Islamic state is the same as a Muslim's life. His life is sacred and will be protected by the Islamic state. If a Muslim murders him for no justifiable Shar'ee reason, the law of Qisaas (killing by sword) will be applied on the Muslim.

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.
