Keeping lucky charms or games of magic and luck
Assalaamu alaykum. I already sent you a question, but I have many questions, so I am sending them to you separately. I have a question regarding kufr (disbelief). From what point is someone a kaafir (disbeliever)? There are Muslims who are collecting things like lucky charms or things like that but without believing in it, is this kufr? Or some may.. More

People are judged according to what is apparent from them
Assalaamu alaykum. I read the following on facebook: "The ruling of kufr (disbelief) and imaan (faith) is built upon the apparent, not the hidden." They further added, "There is no 'do not judge me' in Islam. 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that we judge by what is apparant. This is the way of the pious predecessors." Kindly.. More

Wishing that Muslim dies as disbeliever out of hatred
If a person wants others to disbelieve or die on disbelief out of envy, does it come under approval and being pleased with kufr (disbelief)? Does this cause apostasy? Does he have to re-enter Islam? Please answer in full detail and do not recommend other questions as I have already seen them.

Verbally abusing a Muslim for posting religious material on social media
I have a habit of posting Islamic posts on social media. One day, when a person was checking my profile in front of me, he saw one of these posts and remarked, "What is this (he used slang here)? Do you think people come here for Islam? Does sharing this increase your faith?" What is the ruling on him? I do not know whether he was reviling the contents.. More

Ruling on wearing a cross - Building a model brain
Assalaamu alaykum, my first question is whether or not this statement is correct: It is disbelief if someone intentionally wears a crucifix and while knowing that this is haram. Is it haram to say that? What if someone wears a crucifix but does not believe that Jesus, may Allaah exalt his mention, was crucified? My second question has to do with science... More

Ibn Hajar's statement about regarding what is forbidden as permissible
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding the following statement: Ibn Hajar said in Al-Fath, 1/244, "Regarding forbidden things as permissible is kufr (disbelief), and leading others to kufr is also kufr. However, this view is subject to further examination. The majority of the scholars are of the view that this does not constitute kufr unless.. More

Failing to refute false statements about Jesus does not turn a Muslim into a disbeliever
Assalamu alaykum. I truly appreciate the work that you do answering questions, and I have a question that is really important and I need advice, Allaah willing. I am very eager to receive your response, Allaah willing, as I am very worried. I go to High School in America, where things are taught from a secular standpoint. Earlier this year, my dad and.. More

Claiming that a disbeliever is a Muslim is a lie, not apostasy
Please, what is the ruling on lying to (two muslims) by telling them that a disbeliever is a muslim (though in the Muslim's heart, he does not believe that this disbeliever is a Muslim)? He is concealing his disbelief and labelling him a muslim. The person that does this knows that lying is haram. But when he does that, he does not know that labeling.. More

An ignorant or mistaken Muslim committing an act of disbelief
Shaykh, is the following saying of Qadi Abu Bakr Ibn Al-Arabi, may Allaah be pleased with him, true? ''The ignorant and erring person from this ummah, even if that person commits acts of kufr (disbelief) and shirk (polytheism), does not become a mushrik (polytheist) and infidel since lack of knowledge and mistake are the justification for it!'' (''Tafsir.. More

Ruling on asking a Muslim if he really is Muslim
Assalaamu Alaykum. I know that saying that a Muslim is a kaafir (disbeliever) is a grave sin and that the kufr (disbelief) reverts back if the other person is not kaafir. But does kufr revert back if someone ask the other Muslim whether he is a Muslim or a Hindu or when the person asks the other person whether he is Muslim or not? Or when they say,.. More

Resorting to man-made laws against Muslims to get one's usurped rights
Is it haram to use disputes offered by companies like PayPal to dispute transactions from Muslim merchants? I bought something online, and the muslim merchant did not sent me my item. I contacted him, and they said that it was out of stock and that they would send it when it came in the same week. they still have not sent it, and when I try to contact.. More

Unknowingly ridiculing matters of sharee'ah
Assalaamu alaykum. In islam, the sharia is so wide and Fiqh is so vast, many people joke about and reject normal things and things that they do not like, and they also joke about with many issues, even things that are part of islam, without them realizing it, like mocking the idea of brushing one's teeth (which can lead to mocking using the miswaak..

The ruling on saying that not every non-Muslim is a kaafir
Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh, and may Allaah be merciful to you. I have a question about kufr (disbelief). An imam who lives in Germany said that every kaafir (disbeliever) is a non-Muslim but not every non-Muslim is a kaafir. He said that a kaafir is someone who has heard about Islam WITH its evidences , REALISED the truth, and THEN rejected it. Furthermore,.. More

The Hanafi ruling on saying (I am not a Muslim if I am lying) while he is lying
Please reply to the question according to the Hanafi school of thought. If a person says, "If I am not speaking the truth, then I am not a muslim." and he lied, then will he be excluded from the religion of Islam? If he were to be excluded from the religion of Islam, then what would happen to his marriage with his wife?
