Question:
This questioner, O Shaykh Salih, says: Explain to me the hadithSahih Muslim 41,
Answer:
Yes. Islam has many branches, and its pillars are five, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained. After that, everything that Allah has commanded, or that His Messenger has commanded, is part of Islam, and everything that Allah has forbidden, or that His Messenger has forbidden, abstaining from it is part of Islam. Among this is His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe." So he does not speak about them with backbiting, talebearing, cursing, or insults, and he does not touch them with his hand by striking, killing, or otherwise. Yes.
