Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on one who says he is a secular Muslim who prays, fasts, and performs Hajj, but calls for the separation of religion from the state?
Answer:
And we know that “secular” and “Muslim” do not come together. A secular person means one who has no religion. Does he not say this? He says, “I am a Muslim,” and does not say, “I am secular.” “Muslim secular” does not come together. Yes.
