Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: A satellite channel explained the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his sayingSahih Muslim 2747b, c to the end of the hadith. They explained it through acting, where the actor spoke the words, “O Allah, You are my slave and I am your Lord.” Is this action not considered mockery and apostasy from the religion of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to act out Allah. When the authentic hadith comes regarding Allah, He is the most joyful. May Allah have mercy on him, this is not permissible. This is a form of mockery and belittling of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Likening falls under likening; likening Allah to His creation. Yes.
