The Sixth Invalidator:
Whoever Ridicules, Scorns or Makes Mockery of Anything of the Religion of the Prophet ( ,)صلى الله عليه وسلمIts Reward or Its Punishment, Has Committed Kufr (Disbelief). Allah, the Most High, says: “…Say: Was it Allah, and His Ayaat (proofs, signs, and revelations) and His Messenger ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمthat you were mocking? Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed…” [9:65-66]
The One Who Mocks or Jokes:
His repentance Is Accepted Subject to Some
Conditions:
1- To praise Allah the way He should be praised.
2- To distance himself from the mockery he has committed (i.e. not repeating it).
3- He should clearly manifest his repentance, so that people may know his truthfulness. As for regarding the one who insults the Messenger of Allah ( ,)صلى الله عليه وسلمhis repentance is accepted to Allah
(۵) IF he is truthful, he will be judged in an Islamic court.
The Meaning and Ruling:
Mockery means to make fun of someone or something and the ruling for the one who mocks or insults the religion is that he is considered a disbeliever because is opposing the truth and his disbelief is Kufr Al Akbar (Major Disbelief) which has invalidated his Islaam and to stay in the hell fire forever. (we seek refuge with Allah from such). As for the one who is in the company of one who is insulting Allah (۵) and or His Messenger ( ,)صلى الله عليه وسلمthen it is a MUST upon him to oppose and shun what is being said and or to remove oneself from the gathering in which the conversation is taking place. Allah (۵)
says in the Quran: “And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Quran) that when you hear the Verses of Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them” [4:140]
[4:140]
However, if the alleged insult is not clear. Does this ruling of kufr apply to one whose insult is not clear? The proper approach is to explain to him the danger of his speech and so if he repents, then he is to be left alone, otherwise his case should be referred to the Islamic Supreme Court and the Major Scholars.
The Seventh Invalidator:
Sorcery or Magic, which includes as-Sarf (causing alienation) and al-‘Ataf (causing affection or attachment). He who practices it or is pleased with it is a disbeliever. And the evidence of this is the Saying of Allah, the Most High: “…but neither of these two (angels Haaroot and Maaroot) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘we are only a fitnah (trial, test) so do not disbelieve (by learning this magic from us)…’” [2:102] Magic (All Kinds of It): The Signs of a Magician / Sorcerer:
1- It is that not following the condition of the accepted Ruqyah Ash Shara'iyyah (legislated healing) which
has the following conditions:
- Allah's Words and Names should ONLY be used. - Arabic Language should ONLY be used. - To believe that (ruqiyyah/healing) ONLY works by Allah's Will.
2- Using disjointed words or using speech that which is NOT Comprehensible by human beings. 3- Watching the Stars and Palm Readings and Tea Leaf Readings.
4- Blowing On Knots.
5- Breaking Relationship or Joining Relationship/Love Divinations.
6- Counselling the sick to Oppose the Shari'ah, like committing forbidden Major Sins.
7- Abandoning Prayer/Salat.
8- Not mentioning The Name Of Allah when slaughtering an animal for sacrifice.
9- Asking about the name of one's mother.
10- Claiming to known the knowledge of the unknown/unseen/ghayb.
Its Ruling:
The Magic (sorcery) is Kufr Al Akbar (major disbelief) because Allah (۵)
says in the Quran: “But neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things i.e. magic) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)” [2:102]
[2:102]
116
The Ruling On The One Who Seeks The Counsel Of The Magicians:
And that is inclusive to visiting the magician and or sending someone on one's behalf or sending a letter or communicating or watching its channel or website and magazine that contains this type of content/materials. And the ruling of one who seeks the help of the magicians is that his prayers are not accepted for 40 days as it is mentioned in the Ahadeeth of the Messenger of Allah ():صلى الله عليه وسلم «He who visits a diviner/soothsayer and asks him/her about anything, his/her prayer will not be accepted for 40 days». As for the one who simply believes in sayings of the magicians, then the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: «Whoever goes to soothsayer or a fortune teller and believes in what he says, he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (.»)صلى الله عليه وسلم Except for the one who goes to him for the purpose of forbidding his actions and or warns others against him provided that he is qualified to do so.
Impermissible:
That which consists of any types of magic. The Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمwas asked about a charm for one who is possessed (nashrah) and said: «It is from the action/doing of shaytaan (satan)».
Permissible:
That which depends on the Ruqiyyah Ash Shara'iyyah or permissible medicine and supplications of prayers. Refutation/Rejection Of One Who Says/Claims That Magic Can Be Cured
By Magic:
1- Curing magic with magic contradicts the Quran and the Sunnah and what the companions and the righteous predecessors (may Allah be pleased with all of them) were upon.
2- It weakens the seeking of treatment by using the Quran and the authentic Dua (supplications) reported in the Sunnah of The Messenger (.)صلى الله عليه وسلم
3- It strengthens the position of magicians and magic in the eyes of the public.
4- It diminishes the certainty of seeking the Quran and Duas (authentic supplications) and replaces them with the uncertainty found in magic.
5- Removing the effect of magic by magic requires one to indulge in what pleases Ash Shaytaan (The Devil/Satan).
6- If the one afflicted by magic is patient then he is rewarded with Jannah as mentioned by the Messenger
().صلى الله عليه وسلم 7- Curing magic by magic increases the hold of the magician on the afflicted. 8- When the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمwas afflicted by the magic, he never used or sought the aid of a magician/magic but rather he used the Ruqiyyah Ash Shara'iyyah (Healing which is legislated in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ().صلى الله عليه وسلم117
The Eighth Invalidator:
Backing or supporting the polytheists and aiding them against the Muslims. And the evidence of this is the Saying of Allah, the Most High: “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliyaa’ to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliyaa’, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust)” [5:51]
Supporting The Disbelievers Against The Believers:
It is obligatory upon every Muslim to distance themselves from the polytheists, disbelievers and their religion and be supportive of the people of Tawheed (monotheism) and loving their (monotheism) religion. Therefore, whoever loves disbelief or is pleased with disbelief or supports it against monotheism or helps the polytheists and disbelievers against the Muslims, then has disbelieved and is one of them. As a result, supporting the polytheists and
or the disbelievers against the Muslims falls into TWO categories:
Act Of Disbelief/Polytheism That Does Not Invalidate One's Islaam: This type is not assisting or loving the polytheists or disbelievers and or hating the Muslims but rather doing this out of the worldly interests and worldly gain. Polytheism/Disbelief Which Invalidates One's Islaam: That is to ally with the polytheists and or disbelievers against the Muslims out of loving them and hating the Muslims and wanting them to be victorious over the Muslims/Believers.118
The Ninth Invalidator:
Whoever believes that some people are exempted from abiding by the Sharee’ah (Laws) of Muhammad ( - )صلى الله عليه وسلمjust as al-Khidhr ( )ڠwas exempted from the Sharee’ah (Laws) of Moses ( - )ڠis a Kaafir.
Whoever believes that some people can become exempted from the Shari'ah of the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمhe has become a disbeliever and his disbelief is from the major disbelief which takes one out of the fold of Islaam and this is by the consensus of the major scholars and he will be asked to repent and after clear evidence are shown to him and he still believes, otherwise he may be subjected to punishment by Islamic court. Allah says in the Quran: “Say (Oh Muhammad " :)صلى الله عليه وسلمOh mankind! Verily, I am sent to you ALL as the Messenger of Allah” [7:158] Translator's Note: Even though the Sheikh (may Allah reward him and preserve him) who gave an explanation here only narrated the last part of the hadith from the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمbut I will narrate the entire hadith so as to benefit from the whole story of the hadith and the importance of such hadith in our time today especially. It is reported on the authority of Jabir Bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) that Umar Ibn Al Khattab (radi Allahu anhu) came to the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمwith a book he obtained from some of the people of Scriptures (Jews / Christians). He read it to the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمbut the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمbecame angry and he said: «Are you playing in it, Oh Son of Al Khattab? By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I have come to you with a pure Scripture so do not ask them (Jews/Christians) about anything because they might narrate something truthful and you disbelieve in it and or they narrate something false and you believe in it. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, were Musa (Moses alaihe sallaam) alive today, he would have no choice but to follow me». Therefore, this includes that the people of the Book (Jews / Christians / Polytheists / Atheists) who received the message of the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمbecause they are all considered polytheists/disbelievers as mentioned before. Furthermore, did Al Khadr ( )ڠleave the religion of Musa (Moses) (?)ڠ And even if he did, he may have been from the Ummah other than the Ummah of Musa (Moses) alaihe wassallam. In such times the Prophets (alaihim sallatu wassallam) were to sent to their own specific communities and people but our Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمwas/is sent to all of mankind/Jinn. Therefore, one cannot abandon the Shari'ah of the Messenger of Allah (.)صلى الله عليه وسلم119
The Tenth Invalidator:
Total Disregard or Turning Away from the Religion of Allah, by neither Learning It nor Acting upon It. And the evidence of this is the Saying of Allah, the Most High: “And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then he turns away there from? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimoon (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc)” [32:22]
Turning Away From The Religion Of Allah:
The Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: «Whomever Allah wants good for, Allah makes him comprehend the Religion (i.e. Islaam)». And the one whom Allah (۵) does not want good for, Allah turns him away from and he becomes heedless regarding learning the religion of Allah (۵). Allah (۵) says: “And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then he turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.)” [32:22] And the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, rejecters, etc.) are the inhabitants of the Hell-Fire, and we seek refuge with Allah (۵) from such.
The Ruling On One Who Turns Away from Islaam:
If one turns his hearing and his heart from the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمand does not believe in him nor he denies him and does not show his loyalty nor does he show his enmity and he does not give any regard to what the Messenger of Allah ( )صلى الله عليه وسلمcame with at all, then the ruling on him/her is that he/she is a disbeliever and their disbelief falls into the Kufr Al Akbar (major disbelief) and thus it takes them out of the fold of Islaam.
