Chapter on Those Who Have No Blood Money in Cases of Injury or Killing

Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: "The privacy (awrah) of a believer is forbidden upon another believer." Imam عليه السلام also said: "Whoever spies on a believer in his home, his eyes are lawful to the believer in that situation. Whoever forcefully enters upon a believer in his home without his permission, his blood is lawful to the believer in that situation. And whoever denies the Prophethood of a divinely sent prophet and rejects him, his blood is lawful." I then asked Imam عليه السلام: "What about someone who rejects the Imam from among you (Ahlulbayt عليه السلام) - what is his status?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Whoever rejects an Imam has disassociated from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and Allah سبحانه وتعالى has disassociated from him, as well as from his religion. He is a disbeliever, an apostate from Islam, because the Imam is appointed by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and his religion is the religion of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Whoever disassociates from the religion of Allah سبحانه وتعالى is a disbeliever, and his blood is lawful in that situation unless he repents and returns to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, from what he has said." Imam عليه السلام further said: "Whoever attacks a believer intending to harm his wealth or his life, his blood is lawful to the believer in that situation."
