The Ruling on Cursing the Religion and the Distinction Attributed to Some Scholars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this questioner says: Some scholars say that there is a distinction regarding the one who curses the religion of a specific person,

The Shaykh:
End of the month.

The questioner:
If someone curses the religion of a particular person, meaning so-and-so.

The Shaykh:
Hmm?

The questioner:
That a person curses his religion.

The Shaykh:
This is what he does.

The questioner:
Some scholars say, and we read the question as it is, that some scholars state: If someone curses the religion of a particular person, there is a distinction. If he intends his character and the treatment of the one whose religion he cursed, he is not declared a disbeliever. But if he intends the religion of Islam, he is declared a disbeliever.

The Shaykh:
Who is the scholar who says this? Tell us who he is? I have not come across anything from him. The one who curses the religion is declared a disbeliever without distinction. As for this distinction, I do not know, and who is the scholar who said this? Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and playing." Say, "Is it Allah and His versesسَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:65]
The verse is well known. And you make a distinction—who are you to bring up this distinction? Yes, the one who curses the religion is declared a disbeliever. Yes.
