  • He has whispers about accusing a fellow Muslim of disbelief Date: 14-11-2015

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have seen your links, but my question remains: if you consider somebody who ascribes himself to Islam as a disbeliever but you do not show it outwardly for any reason (for example: shyness, amicable atmosphere at that moment, you like that person, you want him to be pleased with you, and so on). What is the ruling thereof? Is that.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. Is it disbelief if you feel some kind of satisfaction when a Muslim is sentenced by a taghut legislation? For example, somebody who you do not like is sentenced, or somebody whom you view as an extremist in the religion, or somebody who has commited a crime, or somebody whom you are envious. And would it also be disbelief if you had.. More

  • Referring to the Nasaara as Christians is not unbelief Date: 30-4-2015

    Your Fatwa 17225 deals about calling the Nasaaraa Christians and that one should avoid this. Is someone sinnig if he still calls the Nasaaraa Christians, while he knows that one should avoid it?

  • Neighbors accuse her of being an unbeliever Date: 29-7-2014

    Salam aleikum, What is a Muslim supposed to do if he/she is called a 'Christian' or an 'infidel' by neighbors without any reason except discrimination? Going to the judge would involve too much money and time and he would probably not do anything anyway. There are no 'wise' men to intervene. Talking to the neighbors has proven useless. Please advise. .. More

  • Denying indisputably established rulings of Islam - An Islamic view Date: 22-1-2014

    As-salaamu 3laikum, In some of your fataawa you say that we should avoid labelling any Muslim as a kaafir in case there is some excuse for what he did such as ignorance. My questions is does that still apply in the case of what we see today of some people (in the West) who claim to be knowledgeable about Islam, appear on television and write books about.. More
