The ruling on one who claims infallibility for anyone other than the Messenger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on one who claims that someone other than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) possesses infallibility?
Answer:
His ruling is that he is mistaken, unless he has knowledge and the truth has been made clear to him, yet he persists. In that case, he is declared a disbeliever, because he equated someone other than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). However, he may be excused due to ignorance, taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), or something similar to these excuses. Therefore, clarification is necessary, and one must not be hasty.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
