Ruling on Cursing a Person's Religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on cursing a person's religion?
Answer:
Cursing a religion, if it is the religion of Islam, constitutes apostasy from Islam. However, if one intends Judaism, polytheism, or Zoroastrianism, that is not the case. But cursing the religion of a Muslim—whose religion is Islam—is apostasy. We seek refuge in Allah.
One must warn about this, caution against it, and discipline the person; for he deserves discipline for this bad action.
Question : Does he have an expiation?
Answer : Repentance to Allah.
