The Ruling on Defending the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by Action and by Speech
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person says, may Allah reward you, how do we forbid what is wrong with those who have insulted the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? And how do we respond to them, by speech or by action? And what is the ruling on defending the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Defending by action is jihad. This has regulations and conditions. You do not act alone in defending; this has conditions. If there is an army of Muslims under an Islamic banner by the order of the one in authority, join it. As for individuals, no. This causes harms, it causes chaos, it causes the shedding of blood, and it does not lead to anything, rather it causes damages and evils. As for defending by speech, if you are good at speaking with evidence, then defend the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is obligatory upon you. Yes.
