Words of Kufr in regards to

Miscellaneous

Important Note:

There are different words that are used in this text such as ‘Takfeer’ which means it is without any doubt what-so-ever clear Kufr and one will be out of the folds of Islam.

The term ‘is a Kafir,’ ‘will be Kufr,’ ‘are words/statement of Kufr’ and ‘is Kufr’ are similar, however, depending on the (Urf) custom of the time or environment in the community it could have different meaning, hence, the Fatwa of Kufr will not be given. This can only be done by a qualified Mufti.

These statements are real examples of Kufr that have been said by people from the time of the great jurists over 1000 years ago till today and not made up. All the references have been provided from books of these great jurist.

  1. If a person was asked to do Kufr or even advised as a joke or made a strong intention that I will ask or advise someone, will himself become a Kafir, because to be pleased with kufr is Kufr, be it your own Kufr or another. ii If being pleased with the Kufr of someone else on the basis of your enmity it is not Kufr, and if it is with the intention of disrespecting Allah (The Exalted) it is Kufr. iii
  1. If a woman was ordered to do Kufr or was advised or was going to be given a Fatwa that separate from your husband, then this is Kufr (even if she would not separate). iv

  1. Whoso laugh’s with pleasure upon something on the words of Kufr has also become a Kafir. vii If laughed out of control it is forgiven. For instance, if there is something said that is Kufr but has a meaning of a joke or pleasure and by listening to it one just laughed at it there is no order of Kufr and if pleased with that it is Kufr.
