Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the Jews and Christians in this era considered among the People of the Book, especially since they fight Allah and His Messenger?

Answer:
They are among the People of the Book until the Hour stands, they are among the People of the Book until the Hour stands, even if they fight Allah. From long ago they have been fighting Allah and His Messenger, during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they are fighting Allah and His Messenger. Allah named them the People of the Book, so they are the People of the Book. Whoever adopts the religion of the Jews is a Jew, and whoever adopts the religion of the Christians is a Christian, at any time. Yes.
