The Shaykh’s remarks on the issue of insulting the religion and its danger, and the continuation of his explanation of this chapter

The Shaykh : What most closely resembles the forbidden curse is what is common among many of the common people: insulting the religion, may Allah protect us from that. 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 exit the religion of Allah just as a hair comes out of dough. The least that can be said of one who utters such words of disbelief is that he exposes himself to punishment in this world, if there were an Islamic authority, before the punishment of the Hereafter. Therefore, the hadith came to establish a principle and an Islamic etiquette, stating: It is not befitting for a believer to be one who curses.
The questioner: ...

The Shaykh : ... regarding cursing, it involves using a term that is not appropriate in the Shari'ah. The author followed this with another hadith that we usually read because its chain of narration is weak ... but in reality, the hadith that follows it, which is worded as in this context ... its chain of narration is weak, but its first phrase is authentic in more than one authentic hadith. Therefore, the previous hadith teaches the Muslim to guard his tongue so that he does not utter a curse. As for the hadith that follows it, it is more comprehensive and general, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said meaning this includes all inappropriate speech, the obscene word, whether it is ... or something similar, 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!
