Question : May Allah reward you. The questioner says: We often hear some people say [Al-Kafirun 109:6] They intend this phrase during a disagreement; they intend to resolve the disagreement with this phrase. What is the ruling on this statement?
Answer : The ruling on this statement is that if a person is debating a disbeliever, and the disbeliever wants the believer to be with him, and he refuses, then at that time we disavow him and say, "You have your religion and I have my religion." But if a person intends by it to ward off enjoining good and forbidding evil, as if you ordered a person to do what is right or forbade him from what is wrong, and he said, "You have your religion and I have my religion," then this is not a valid argument; it is a false argument. That is, a person’s reliance on this argument before the one who enjoins good and forbids evil is invalid. Yes.
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
