Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do those who insult Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) become disbelievers?
Answer:
The correct view is that one who insults A'ishah, or claims that she became a disbeliever and accuses her of the slander, is a disbeliever; because he is denying the Qur'an.
As for mere insult, one deserves to be punished with a discretionary punishment and disciplined for it.
As for one who says that she committed the lewd act and accuses her of the slander, this is denying Allah, and he becomes a disbeliever, as some of the Rafidah do – we ask Allah for safety.
