Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Ghafir 40:4], it is stated in the book that striking the Qur'an with itself is the action of the disbelievers. Does this indicate that the one who strikes the Qur'an with himself becomes a disbeliever, and how is he to be treated?
Answer:
If one strikes the Qur'an with itself intentionally for the sake of confusion and deviation, he becomes a disbeliever. However, if this happens from him out of ignorance, he has committed a great error and bears a great sin, but he does not become a disbeliever.
