The Ruling on Singling Out a Specific Person in Cursing the Religion
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. If the one who curses the religion of a specific person...
The Shaykh:
...any person.
The questioner:
Cursing the religion of a specific person means cursing the religion of so-and-so, meaning a person curses another person’s religion.
The Shaykh:
Let us get to work.
The questioner:
Some scholars say that there is a distinction regarding the one who curses the religion of a specific person: if he intends their character and the treatment of the one he cursed with the religion, 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? Teach me. No, no, no. You have come up with something. The one who curses the religion commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah). Without distinction. This distinction is not permissible. May Allah prolong your life. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
We only used to say and worship Allah and His signs. A known sign. And you make a distinction? Who are you? You said this distinction, yes. The one who curses the religion is declared a disbeliever, yes.
