the prohibition of marriage is connected to the prohibition of slaughtering. the slaughter of any one of them is not permissible just as the slaughter of a zoroastrian or a heretic is not permissible. slaughtering and marriage are parallel so they are forbidden for all other types of infidels except for the jews and christians because that is a concession for them because they are the people of a book that god almighty revealed to a truthful prophet whose truthfulness is apparent and whose book is famous. as for the rulings of their judges they are invalid and not enforceable and their testimony is rejected. these are matters in which islam is a condition for all of them. so whoever rules that he is an infidel among them these matters are not valid from him rather their worship is not valid their fasting and prayer are not valid their hajj and zakat are not performed and no matter how much they repent and disavow their beliefs and we rule that their repentance is valid they must make up all the acts of worship that they missed and that were performed in a state of disbelief just as this is obligatory for the apostate. this is the extent to which we wanted to point out from among their rulings. if it is said
ويتصل بتحريم المناكحة تحريم الذبائح فلا تحل ذبيحة واحد منهم كما لا تحل ذبيحة المجوسي والزنديق فان الذبيحة والمناكحة تتحاذيان فهمامحرمتان في حق سائر اصناف الكفار الا اليهود والنصارى لأن ذلك تخفيف في حقهم لانهم اهل كتاب انزله الله تعالي على نبي صادق ظاهر الصدق مشهور الكتاب واما اقضية حكامهم فباطلة غير نافذة وشهادتهم مردودة فإن هذه امور يشترط الإسلام في جميعها فمن حكم بكفره من جملتهم لم تصح منه هذه الامور بل لا تصح عبادتهم ولا ينعقد صيامهم وصلاتهم ولا يتأدى حجهم وزكاتهم ومهما تابوا وتبرءوا عن معتقداتهم وحكمنا بصحة توبتهم وجب عليهم قضاء جميع العبادات التي فاتت والتي اديت في حالة الكفر كما يجب ذلك على المرتد فهذا هو القدر الذي اردنا أن ننبه عليه من جملة احكامهم فإن قيل
