The ruling on one who utters a word of disbelief while angry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that he uttered a word of disbelief, may Allah protect us from that, while angry. So what should he do?
Answer:
If the anger was such that he could not comprehend what he was saying, then he owes nothing, because he is not held accountable in severe anger. The severe anger in which a person does not comprehend what he is saying is not something for which he is held accountable, because it did not come from his choice; rather, it came from a state of being overwhelmed, meaning severe anger. So, may Allah will it, he is not held accountable for it. In any case, seeking forgiveness is good. Seek Allah's forgiveness, and may Allah will it, I have nothing else.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
