Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. This questioner asks and says: We hear a lot, Honorable Shaykh, in the newspapers and magazines, the phrase "renewing religious discourse." What is the meaning of this phrase?
Answer:
Its meaning is bad. It means that we do not say "disbeliever," or rather, it means that we call the disbeliever a "human being" instead of a disbeliever, or we call the other "the other" or something else. In their religious discourse, you do not say "disbeliever," you do not say "hypocrite," and you do not say "apostate." But you have to come up with words that are not understood from them.
The way of the human being and what he is upon. This is from the category of covering for the people of misguidance. Yes. So it is a bad meaning. Religious discourse is the discourse of the Book and the Sunnah. It is not changed. The discourse of the Book and the Sunnah is never changed. As for the methods that contradict the Book and the Sunnah, they are changed. And they are returned to the Book and the Sunnah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
