The Ruling on a Person Under a Treaty Who Curses the Torah or the Gospel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if a person under a treaty insults the Torah or the Gospel, or disparages them, what is his ruling in the lands of the Muslims?
Answer:
If he is referring to the Torah and Gospel that exist now, there is nothing wrong with that because they have been distorted. But if he disparages the original Torah that Allah revealed to Moses (peace be upon him), or the original Gospel that Allah revealed to Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him), then his treaty is annulled. This is because we believe in all the books: the Torah, the Gospel, and the Psalms, and we believe in all the books. So if he disparages them, he has disparaged our religion. Yes.
The presenter:
Please proceed, Honorable Shaykh.
