A man became angry and insulted the religion, and nearly threw the mushaf on the ground; does this make him a disbeliever? And are his deeds, such as fasting and prayer, invalidated?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you?
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How is the Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. We have a brother who became very angry and upset, and he insulted the religion, and nearly threw the Qur'an on the ground. What is his ruling? Or what is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding him?
The Shaykh : If he intended that, then he has committed disbelief and apostatized from his religion, and his wife is divorced and separated from him. But if he did that not out of intention, but out of foolishness and because he was provoked, then let him repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and seek forgiveness from his Lord, perhaps Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will accept his repentance.
The questioner : Is his fasting valid, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This depends on the details we mentioned: if he intended it, he has committed disbelief, and all his deeds are invalidated. But if he did not intend it, then his fasting is valid, if Allah wills, but it will be deficient; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say:Sahih al-Bukhari 1903, and what he did is among the greatest open sinfulness and transgression.

مَن لم يدَعْ قول الزور والعمل به فليس لله حاجة في أن يدَعَ طعامه وشرابهThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
