The ruling on one who insults the Messenger and then repents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A dispute arose between me and the man who insulted the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). My father said, for example in court, “I do not know you; you are not my son,” and so on. This caused harm and resulted in the severing of family ties.
The Shaykh:
He repented, and praise be to Allah. Whoever repents between himself and Allah, Allah accepts his repentance if he is sincere.
The presenter:
Shaykh, regarding the Jahmiyyah, is the correct view to declare them disbelievers? Do they not hold that position?
The Shaykh:
The Jahmiyyah denied the names and attributes of Allah, and the moderate ones denied the attributes of Allah. As for one who denies some of the attributes, he is a matter for consideration.
The presenter:
May Allah guide you.
The Shaykh:
If they follow them, like them, if the Christians exalt them, if they exalt them like them.
