Question:
He says: O Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who insults most of the Companions and speaks much about them, and perhaps he does so while holding a clear belief regarding the People of the House? What is the ruling on these people?
Answer:
The ruling on these people is that they are upon great misguidance, and it will lead them to disbelief; it will lead them to disbelief, because the general rule is that no one insults the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) except a disbeliever. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Fath 48:29]. Yes.
