Question:
We say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned that the Jews and Christians are not condemned absolutely, but rather only the misguidance among them is condemned. So, if someone says now that among the Jews and Christians in this age, they are not absolutely called disbelievers, is this statement correct?
Answer:
After the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whoever did not believe in him is a disbeliever, whether he is a Jew, a Christian, or otherwise. This was the case before the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for after the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), everyone who does not believe in the Messenger and follow him is a disbeliever and is from the people of the Fire. Yes.
