Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: Is hating the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and insulting them hypocrisy or disbelief?
Answer:
It is hypocrisy, without a doubt; it is hypocrisy. As for disbelief, if they hate the Companions because of their religion, then that is disbelief. But if they hate them because of their persons, out of personal rather than religious hatred, then that is a major sin among the major sins.
