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?

He has whispers about accusing a fellow Muslim of disbelief
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

Denying a story stated in the Quran is an act of disbelief
Dear Shaikh, assalamu Alaykum. What is the sharia ruling on a person who says that the story of Prophet Ibrahim, alayhi as-salam, that fire did not burn him is an imaginary story and not a real story because Allah has created fire with the ability to burn things so how could Prophet Ibrahim not burn in it? Could you please let me know whether the person.. More

Satisfaction at the sentencing of a Muslim by man-made laws
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

Ruling on praising the religion or laws of non-Muslims
Assalamu alaykum. I read that praising the religion of the disbelievers is disbelief. What does that mean exactly? Are the following statements included in that:1. "The idea of democracy/communism is good by itself." (Meaning if you would view this matter irrespective of islam, but because it contradicts islam, you reject it.) 2. "Judaism is a good.. More

Ruling on studying at the hands of non-Muslim teachers
I read a statement of Ibn Taymiyyah, and some people say that it shows that the so called marks in schools come under the same ruling. The statement is:
“And everyone who judged between [any] two people, then he is [considered] a qaadi (judge) irrespective of whether he is a person of war, or one commissioned into [any position of] office, or appointed.. More

Referring to the Nasaara as Christians is not unbelief
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? Is it Kufr to call the Nasaaraa Christians since calling them Christian would mean that someone attributes them (Nasaaraa) to the Maseeh,while they do not follow.. More

Accepting the gift of an apostate
Please I had a sheik saying he doesn't think it is permissible for a Muslim to accept gift (money) from an apostate. He said it is like he's selling his Islam. And He added, had it been he is a disbeliever but not an apostate then gift can be accepted from him. So is that the case?

Not mocking Islam to laugh at the names 'Gog and Magog'
As-salaamu 3laikum, Once I was asked by somebody about the English translation of the names of Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj. I replied that in English they refer to them as Gog and Magog. This lady could not stop laughing when I said that. I think it is because the English versions of the names sound very strange. I know that these are the names of an evil people,.. More

Saying that some people take their desires as their god is not kufr
Asallam U Alaikum, If a person said to another person in anger"if you make something more important than Allah subhana wa ta ala in your life (like money etc) Its your god, you have made it into". The person meant that this is wrong to do and they didn't mean it literally. Is this kufr statement(Allah forbid).
