Note 1
(1) The statement: Has absolved himself of the covenant: This refers to the covenant of Islam and its pledge, which is a stern warning, as is his statement: "He has disbelieved." It is said this applies if he flees to the land of war or joins them or deems fleeing permissible. [Summarized from Al-Luma’at]
