The ruling on one who slanders the Companions and denies the companionship of those who embraced Islam after the Conquest

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: A wretched man has appeared in these days who slanders the Companions. He says that the Companions are those who embraced Islam before the Conquest, and that whoever embraced Islam after the Conquest is not a Companion. Is his definition correct?

Answer:
This is a false statement, and this wretched man is an atheist, may Allah protect us from him. He wants to change the beliefs of the Muslims. He spoke about the creed and spoke about the Imams, and he insulted Imam Ahmad and others. He is not just angry at the Companions; he is hostile to Islam as a whole. He wants to make Muslims doubt their religion and wants to spread atheism and heresy. So one must be wary of him and stay away from him. A group of scholars have already responded to him, and praise be to Allah, they have nullified his scheme and refuted his doubts. Yes.
