Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Are there any wicked people among the Muslims? One of them told me that you said it is not permissible to say "khabith" to a Muslim.
Answer:
Absolutely, it is not said absolutely. As for a type of wickedness, there may be a kind of wickedness in it. But to say "khabith" absolutely, this is not permissible regarding a Muslim. And the prohibition has come regarding saying "O wicked one," "O enemy of Allah," or "O open sinner." Yes.
