Question:
This is a questioner from Russia who asks: Is it true that a Muslim who insults Allah or insults the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has an excuse due to ignorance?
Answer:
He has an excuse for insulting Allah and insulting the Messenger and has an excuse due to ignorance? What kind of talk is this? This is obscure. One does not have an excuse due to ignorance, not in obscure matters that require clarification. Is the prohibition of insulting Allah and insulting the Messenger an obscure matter or an apparent matter? Glory be to Allah, mixing truth and falsehood. Allah said to the Jews and the Christians:[Al-Baqarah 2:42]. This talk is not permissible. Yes.
