Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, a person in the gathering is giving a sermon and says: Allah the Exalted said such and such, His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said such and such.
The Shaykh : What did he say? What?
The questioner : He said his Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said such and such.
The Shaykh : He plucked out his hair.
The questioner : No, such and such.
Another questioner: He said such and such.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then in the gathering, one of the innovators said: This is a liar. The second one said: Who is a liar? ... You are a liar. He said: The Messenger lies. This man took a knife and stabbed him. Is there a sin on him?
The Shaykh : The first thing is that they should refer the matter to the judge, the guardians of the murdered man and the killer. I say: It is not permissible for a person to overrule the Imam, the one in authority, and kill every person.
The questioner : He lied about the Messenger.
The Shaykh : But okay, lying about the Messenger is referred to the responsible authority.
The questioner : The responsible authority does not care.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : They do not care.
The Shaykh : I do not see that he should kill him, ever. He should frighten him with Allah and say: Fear Allah, you should repent, because even if he kills him now, would this not be a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)? His relatives would come and kill this man.
The questioner : He lied about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : No, no. Even if he said, even if he said, you are in an age of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and your statement is not accepted: that the man lied about the Messenger. And note that some people have intense anger and may utter this word out of extreme anger, unable to control themselves.
The questioner : Is there a sin on him?
The Shaykh : On whom? On the killer? He killed now.
The questioner : No, the killer was not killed.
The Shaykh : I asked you, you say: Is there a sin on him? I ask you, you say: The killer. I say to you: The killer? And you say: No.
The questioner : He says: Is there a sin on him?
The Shaykh : We do not know. This returns to this speaker. Did he say it in a state of agitation and extreme anger, unable to control himself? Then there is a sin on him.
The Shaykh : What did he say? What?
The questioner : He said his Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said such and such.
The Shaykh : He plucked out his hair.
