أحسن الله إليكم هذا سائل يقول فضيلة الشيخ حفظكم الله تعالى تكرر في الآونة الأخيرة الإساءة إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بأنواع من الإساءات عن طريق الأفلام أو الصحف أو غيرها May Allah grant you all that is good. Here is a questioner saying, “Your Eminence, may Allah bless you, there has recently been repeated occurrence of insulting the Prophet—peace be upon him—in different forms, through movies, newspapers, and the like.” السؤال ما الموقف الشرعي من هذه الإساءة وتابع له يقول وما حكم التعبير عن الغضب من الإساءة للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالمظاهرات “The question is: what is the Islamic stand regarding such insults?” They further added, “What’s the ruling on expressing anger at insulting the Prophet, peace be upon him, by means of demonstrations?” الشيخ: يا إخوان هذا ما هو بجديد، في عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقولون ساحر كذاب كاهن شاعر إلى غير ذلك والرسول يصبر عليه الصلاة والسلام Brothers and sisters, this is not new. At the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, they used to call him a magician, liar, soothsayer, poet, etc., and the prophet, peace be upon him, would be patient. يصبر ولا يستعجل والله يأمره بالصبر: (وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرࣰا جَمِیلࣰا) [سورة المزمل 10] He wouldn’t grow impatient. Allah commanded him to be patient; “And be patient (O Muhammad) with what they say, and keep away from them in a good way” (73:10). يسمع ولكنه يصبر عليه الصلاة والسلام بأمر الله عز وجل: (وَلَقَدۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ یَضِیقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا یَقُولُونَ ۝ فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِینَ ۝ وَٱعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ یَأۡتِیَكَ ٱلۡیَقِینُ) [سورة الحجر 97 - 99] The Prophet, peace be upon him, would hear (the insults) but keep patient in fulfillment of Allah’s, may He be glorified, order: “Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say. So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him). And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death)”(15:97-99). كان يصبر ويمنع أصحابه من أن احدا ينتقم، يمنع أصحابه من أن أحدا ينتقم يوم أن كان بمكة He would be patient and prevent his companions from taking revenge. He would prevent his companions from taking revenge when he was in Mecca. يمنع أصحابه لأنهم لو انتقموا من المشركين، لقضي على الإسلام في مكة، لقضي على الدعوة في مهدها He would prevent his companions because if they had taken revenge on polytheists, Islam would have been demolished in Mecca; Da’wah “the call to Islam” would have been nipped in the bud. إلى أن هاجر ووجد الأنصار فحينئذ أمره الله بجهاد المشركين، الجهاد الشرعي But once he migrated and found the Ansar “supporters in Madina,” Allah commanded him to fight legitimately against disbelievers. أما المظاهرات وأما التخريب وأما قتل الأبرياء ومن هم في أمان المسلمين وفي ذمة المسلمين هذه خيانة ولا تجوز This, however, does not apply to demonstrations, vandalism, and the killing of innocents and those who are promised immunity and protected citizens. This is betrayal and unlawful. و لا يجوز قتل البريء ولو كان كافرا ما يجوز: (وَلَا یَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ أَن تَعۡتَدُوا۟) [سورة المائدة 2] ما يجوز الإعتداء البريء (وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۚ) [سورة الأنعام 164] It is unlawful to kill innocents, even if they are disbelievers; it is unlawful. “And let not the hatred of some people in (once) stopping you from Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm (at Makkah) lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part)” (5:2). It is unlawful to assault innocents; "And no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another" (6:164).
