Harbi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A harbi (حربي) is a non-Muslim, who does not live under Muslim rule, as opposed to dhimmi.
The Harbi is the inhabitant of the dar al-harb. A harbi has no rights, not even the right to live. If a harbi wants to enter the territory of Islam (dar al-islam) he needs an safe-conduct called aman.
The popular muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi declared in 2003:
It has been determined by Islamic law that the blood and property of people of Dar Al-Harb [the Domain of Disbelief where the battle for the domination of Islam should be waged] is not protected.[1]
MEMRI documentates the opinion of the Egyptian Grand-Mufti, Dr. Sheikh Ali Gomaa, on Jihad and killing harbis:
- Question: "Is it permitted to kill an Israeli traveling outside the borders of his land?"
- Sheikh Gum'a: "Yes, it is permitted to kill him, because he is a Harbi and the Harbi spreads corruption throughout the face of the earth."[2]
