'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The blood of a Muslim man, who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, and that I am the Messenger of Allāh, is not lawful except for one of three cases: The (previously married or) married adulterer, a life for a life, and the one who leaves his religion and parts from the Jamā'ah (the
community of Muslims).” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Uthmān, ‘Aishah and Ibn ‘Abbās.

Commentary
According to the Qur’ān and various narrations of the Prophet ﷺ, and the consensus of the Muslim Ummah, killing a Muslim brother is one of the greatest sins. There are only three conditions which allow the killing of a Muslim. These three conditions have been mentioned in this narration. (Al-Mughnī. v. 11. p.443-444.)
