In Sahih Muslim 1676a, it says
> 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community.
This means a Muslim can only be killed for three reasons
1) adultery
2) murder
3) apostasy
Howeve in Sunan an Nasa’i 5661 it says
> It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar and a number of the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ said
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever drinks Khamr, whip him; then if he drinks (again), whip him; then if he drinks (again), whip him; then if he drinks (again), kill him.'"
Isn’t that a contradiction?
