He had chopped off one of my hands and he said that after he had cut it off. May I kill him?” The Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said. “Do not kill him for if you kill him, he would be in the position in which you had been before you kill him, and you would be in the position in which he was before he said the sentence.” The Prophet also said to Al-Miqdad, “If a faithful believer conceals his faith (Islam) from the disbelievers, and then when he declares his Islam, you kill him, (you will be sinful).
