We have given you clear authority [291] against such people. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

    war against you. This does not mean that they will keep aloof from you in order to join the disbelievers.


    290. This verse has abrogated all those verses in which there was an order to be gentle with the infidels or to keep clear of them. Likewise, prohibition of holy war during the sacred months i.e. in Rajab. Shawwal. Zil Qadah and Zil-Hajj too become abrogated through this verse.
    Now it is permissible for Muslim warriors to kill Confederate infidels anywhere, anytime. This verse is absolutely firm and cannot become abrogated until the Day of Judgement. Anyone who regards it as abrogated is out of the fold of Islam eg. the Qadiyanis who regard holy war as abrogation.

    291.The gist of it. infidels are of different categories: Non-Muslims citizens who form part of the Muslim populace: refugees who come to seek peace and safety in our land; that confederate who may not be of these two types. but with whom temporary peace has been made; and that confederate with whom there is no peace accord. It is permissible to kill the last mentioned infidels while killing those mentioned earlier is prohibited.
