Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who denies the infallibility of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
If he is ignorant or follows a scholar without knowing his evidence, he is misguided. But if he does so intentionally, he is a disbeliever. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is infallible. He is infallible in all circumstances, even if some things occur from him in terms of independent legal reasoning—reasoning in which some adjustment might occur—he is infallible in the end (peace and blessings be upon him). He never approves of an error. Yes.
