Criticizing the Rightly Guided Caliph 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The questioner says: We often hear criticism of the noble Companion, the Rightly Guided Caliph 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him),
Answer:
The evil is that it has not ceased; it did not end with the killing of 'Uthman. Those who killed 'Uthman have students and followers who still inherit this fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), may Allah protect us from it. Yes, you have heard about the status of the Messenger of Allah's (peace and blessings be upon him) Caliph, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), his virtue and his position in Islam. You know this, so do not listen to those who criticize him or speak ill of him. They criticize his religion and his 'aqidah (creed); that is absolutely impossible. They only criticize trivial matters that do not harm the religion and do not cause harm.
