Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, we mentioned that we declare a specific person a disbeliever if he insults Allah and His Messenger.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But we went on to say afterwards that we do not declare him a disbeliever unless he is in a state of anger.
The Shaykh : No, that is not a barrier. Anger, meaning intense anger, intense joy, and coercion, these are barriers to the ruling of disbelief.
The questioner : Shaykh, what is the criterion?
The Shaykh : The criterion is that a person cannot control himself. Sometimes, when some people get angry, they do not know whether they are in the sky or on the earth.
