The ruling on one who accuses another of apostasy without presenting evidence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) states: “In matters other than the rights of Allah the Exalted.” Hmm. He says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) states: “In matters other than the rights of Allah the Exalted.” Does that mean that if I file a lawsuit against a man who has insulted Allah or insulted the Messenger, the case will not be examined?
Answer:
Yes, until it is established against him. And you are not subject to discretionary punishment if you do not present evidence. If you do present evidence, you are subject to discretionary punishment. They leave people alone; some smear others with false accusations. The solution is to say, “I am in the safety of Allah,” and then present evidence against him, and the ruling of apostasy is applied to him. Otherwise, the one who accused him of apostasy is subject to discretionary punishment. Yes.
