The Ruling on Cursing the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the one who says that those who insult the Companions are our brothers, even if they differ from us on this issue?
Answer:
The one who insults the Companions in general—this is al-Shafi'i’s view. This person is a disbeliever, because Allah has declared them just, praised them, spoken well of them, and promised them Paradise. So the one who insults them is one who denies Allah the Exalted. As for if he insults some of them, this is to be condemned. If his insult is due to a personal grudge, then he is a sinner and has committed an act of his Shaytan. But if his insult is for the sake of his religion and for the sake of their companionship with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then this is to be condemned.
