The ruling on calling the Christians "Christians" and the Jews "Israelis"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to call the Christians "Christians" and the Jews "Israelis"?
Answer:
No. Given their current state of shirk (associating partners with Allah), they are not to be called Christians; they are to be called the Christians (Nasara), as Allah named them. Allah called them the Christians (Nasara), not Christians (Masihiyyin). He called the Jews the Jews, not Israelis. The names from the Qur'an, the Jews and the Christians (Nasara), remain applicable to them until the Day of Resurrection, unless they repent and enter the religion of Islam.
