Subject: [TheTrueCall] Fatwa: Ridicule of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) - What is our Responsibility?

Question no. 5526
Assalamualaikum Wa Rehmatullah Wa Barakatuh
You would probably have heard of the recent incident that took place in France in which a newspaper published blasphemous material against our Prophet (
) in the name of freedom of speech. Consequently, one night, the office of this newspaper was set on fire.
The question that arises is, what should be the recompense of such an act by the Kuffar? It is well-known that blasphemy is punishable by death, but some people say that the Muslims are weak and they should bear with patiently, just as the Muslims did during the Makkan period. What, in your opinion, is the correct course of action?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds and salutations be upon His Prophet and his companions. To proceed:
Anyone who commits blasphemy against the Prophet () has in effect declared war against Islam and the Muslims and the Muslims should respond in a manner that ensures that no one dares to repeat this crime. Muslims are not weak; rather they are strong if they have firm resolve. What remains for us to defend [if not the honour of the Prophet ()] after he has been blasphemed?
Allah the Exalted says:
In his tafsir, Allama Saadi says:
"This means to give preference to your own security and comfort over the honour of the Prophet (), despite the fact the Prophet () is dearer to the believers than their own souls.
"Every momin (true believer) should be ready to sacrifice his life for the Prophet () and give him preference over himself. This is a sign of the respect and love a momin has for the Prophet (), and this is what completes his faith"
(Tafsir-e-Saadi 355/1)
In the Sahih, Imam Bukhari transmits from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that he heard from the Prophet ():
Thus our lives and souls should be sacrificed for the Prophet()and his honour.
Shaikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taiymiah says:
The matter of blasphemy against the Prophet () is connected to the rights of Allah and of all the believers. Thus if the Prophet () has been harmed in any way, it is akin to harm inflicted against all the believers, in fact, it is a matter even more grave in the eyes of the believers. Thus it is incumbent upon every Muslim to defend the honour of the Prophet () and sacrifice his life, family, wealth and honour for this cause, just as the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did with their own blood. Praising their sacrifices, the Prophet () called them the helpers of Allah and his Messenger. Even though the life of a Muslim can be settled with blood money, the blasphemer is only to be dealt with the sword. (138/5)
Abu Dawood in his Masnad Ahmed narrates from Ibn-e-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):
A blind man had a slave-girl (pregnant with his child) who used to abuse the Prophet () and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet () and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet () was informed about it. He assembled the people and said: 'I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up.' Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the blind man stood up. He sat before the Prophet () and said: 'O Messenger of Allah ()! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her.' Thereupon the Prophet () said: 'Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.'
No doubt, the burning down of the newspaper office is a small act in comparison to what the Muslims should have done.
As for staying silent due to weakness, it is disloyalty with the Prophet () and it will do nothing but add to the audacity of the Kuffar.
And Allah knows best.
And all praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds.

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds and salutations be upon His Prophet and his companions. To proceed:
Anyone who commits blasphemy against the Prophet (
) has in effect declared war against Islam and the Muslims and the Muslims should respond in a manner that ensures that no one dares to repeat this crime. Muslims are not weak; rather they are strong if they have firm resolve. What remains for us to defend [if not the honour of the Prophet ()] after he has been blasphemed?Allah the Exalted says:
It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad (peace be upon him) when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life… (At-Taubah, 120)
In his tafsir, Allama Saadi says:
"This means to give preference to your own security and comfort over the honour of the Prophet (
), despite the fact the Prophet () is dearer to the believers than their own souls."Every momin (true believer) should be ready to sacrifice his life for the Prophet (
) and give him preference over himself. This is a sign of the respect and love a momin has for the Prophet (), and this is what completes his faith"(Tafsir-e-Saadi 355/1)
In the Sahih, Imam Bukhari transmits from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that he heard from the Prophet (
):"None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind."
Thus our lives and souls should be sacrificed for the Prophet(
)and his honour.Shaikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taiymiah says:
The matter of blasphemy against the Prophet (
) is connected to the rights of Allah and of all the believers. Thus if the Prophet () has been harmed in any way, it is akin to harm inflicted against all the believers, in fact, it is a matter even more grave in the eyes of the believers.
