Question:
What is the ruling on one who says a word of disbelief without intending it, such as when a man becomes extremely angry to the point of losing his awareness, and then utters a word of disbelief due to the intensity of his anger?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the Muslim to guard his tongue and not give in to anger. When he becomes angry, he should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan. He should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:200] And in the other verse, it is stated that He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. He should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and leave off anger. If he speaks a word of disbelief without realizing it, without any awareness, it does not harm him because he has no mind operating outside of awareness. But if he is aware, visualizes what he is saying, and understands what he is saying, this is a great danger, and he is to be feared of falling into apostasy. Yes.
