Discussion of the issue of insulting the religion and its gravity, and the completion of the explanation of this chapter.

The Shaykh : The closest thing to the curse that is not permissible is what is common among many of the common people, namely insulting the religion, may Allah protect us from it! It is not permissible for one who believes in Allah and the Last Day to utter such words, for if the speaker intended their meaning, he would have exited the religion of Allah just as a hair comes out of dough. The least that can be said about one who utters such words that entail disbelief is that he exposes himself to punishment in this world, if there were an Islamic ruling, before the Hereafter. Therefore, the hadith came to establish a principle and an Islamic etiquette, stating: .

The questioner: Regarding the curse ... .

The Shaykh : ...where the hadith came, we brought this hadith following the hadith of the oppressive neighbor, except for what was in the text that was not abrogated. Since the curse involved the use of a term that is not appropriate religiously, the author followed it with another hadith that we do not usually recite because its chain of narration is weak. However, in reality, this hadith that follows, which is worded as: , with this completeness and this perfection, has a weak chain of narration, but its first phrase is authentic: This was reported in more than one authentic hadith. Therefore, the previous hadith contains a lesson for the Muslim to guard his tongue so that a curse does not issue from him, whereas the hadith that follows it is more comprehensive and broader. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ; meaning this includes all inappropriate speech, the obscene term, whether it is a curse, or insulting the religion, or insulting his face, or something similar, or his lineage, or anything that is not permissible in Islam. This is a matter whose owner Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) does not love, but rather hates!
