Do unintentional spelling errors when writing the names and attributes of Allah, and the intrusive thoughts of insulting Allah, the Messenger, the Companions, and the Mothers of the Believers with vulgar words, constitute disbelief (kufr)? And what is the ruling on one who describes all fields of study as "disgusting and difficult," and does this include the Sharia fields? And does one who curses or insults all people thereby turn away from Islam, knowing that the prophets and companions are among people? And what is the ruling on calling children by demeaning diminutive names that rhyme with their original names, such as (Darat) instead of (Omar)?
