Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to address a disbeliever by saying "O servant of Allah" because he falls under general servitude?
Answer:
No, because this is an honor for him. He should not say "O servant of Allah" because this is an honor for him. Yes, rather, he should say to him: O human being, O Adamite, O human being, fear Allah. Allah created you to worship Him, and so on.
