Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this questioner says:Muwatta Malik 56:1, disbelief has returned to him,
The Shaykh:
even if the other is not his father. If he says to any Muslim, "O disbeliever," when he is not, his words return to him, may Allah protect us from that, or if he says, "O wicked one," or "May Allah curse you," or something similar, if the person does not deserve this, then this word does not go away; rather, it returns to him, and its sin and danger return to him. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says something.
The Shaykh:
He said it to his father or to someone else, but if he said it to his father, the matter is more severe, because this involves undutifulness to the parent. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said, "So do not say to them 'uff'[Al-Isra 17:23]. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. In his question, he asks: Is this major shirk or minor shirk?
The Shaykh:
This is a warning. What does it mean that one becomes a disbeliever? It means he exits the religion, but there is a severe warning for him. Yes.
And this questioner says:
If a man says to his muslim brother, 'O kafir!'
من قال لأخيه يا كافرThe Shaykh:
even if the other is not his father. If he says to any Muslim, "O disbeliever," when he is not, his words return to him, may Allah protect us from that, or if he says, "O wicked one," or "May Allah curse you," or something similar, if the person does not deserve this, then this word does not go away; rather, it returns to him, and its sin and danger return to him. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says something.
The Shaykh:
He said it to his father or to someone else, but if he said it to his father, the matter is more severe, because this involves undutifulness to the parent. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said, "So do not say to them 'uff'
but speak to them a noble word.
وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًاThe questioner:
May Allah reward you. In his question, he asks: Is this major shirk or minor shirk?
The Shaykh:
This is a warning. What does it mean that one becomes a disbeliever? It means he exits the religion, but there is a severe warning for him. Yes.
