Does this statement constitute disbelief, or is this speech open to figurative interpretation? And who is responsible for killing him? Is it permissible for any person to kill him?
Answer:
It is not permissible to transmit or mention this speech. This is the ugliest, most severe, and most heinous speech on the face of the earth, equating Allah with Satan. We ask Allah for well-being. There is no doubt in its being disbelief (kufr).
