What is the ruling on a Copt and a Muslim saying that Jesus is the son of Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: In our country, a scholar says—in our country, a Salafi scholar says—that the Copt who says Jesus is the son of Allah is a disbeliever. He says: The Copt who says Jesus is the son of Allah is a disbeliever.
The Shaykh:
Without a doubt.
The questioner:
As for the Muslim who testifies to the two testimonies, if he says Jesus is the son of Allah, he is not declared a disbeliever specifically until the proof is established against him, and the conditions are met and the impediments are removed. So what do you say about this?
The Shaykh:
Now, a caller claims to be a scholar and says this, and says he needs someone to clarify it to him? The scholar clarifies, the learned one clarifies; he is not in need of it. But if it is clarified to him, he accepts it, because Satan confuses him and makes it attractive. So this is a false statement. It is not permissible to say this, nor to be lenient regarding shirk (associating partners with Allah) and its means. We do not listen to the words of so-and-so; rather, we listen to the one who says: Allah said, His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
