Fatwah Regarding The Permissibility Of Charging The Jews And Christians With Kufr
The Permanent Committee
Q: Is it permissible to charge the Jews and the Christians with Kufr (disbelief)?
A: It is permissible for the Muslim to charge the Jews and the Christians with kufr. Indeed, they are kaafir (disbelievers) because Allah (Subhaanahu) has characterizes them in the Qur’an with this description. This is found to be certain for the one who reflects on the Qur’an, and from that is the statement of the Most High,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ
“Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad {sallAllaahu alaihi wasallam} from among the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikoon, will abide in the fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.” (Suratul Bayyinah: 6)
It is obligatory to believe in the Messengership of the Prophet (Muhammad ﷺ and that which he was sent with). Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said:
“By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is in, there is none from amongst the Jews and the Christians (of the present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) but he will be from the dwellers of the (Hell) fire.” [Saheeh Muslim, the Book of Faith]
