What is the ruling on a Yemeni woman from the Yemeni Socialist Party claiming prophethood?
A Muslim must believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Seal of the Prophets and that his message is the final message, as stated in the Quran and Sunnah, and as agreed upon by all Muslims. Anyone who claims prophethood after him is a disbeliever and a denier of Allah and His Messenger. The Prophet foretold the appearance of many liars who would claim prophethood. If it is confirmed that a woman is claiming prophethood, she must be advised and warned. If she responds, then that is good. But if she insists, she is a disbelieving apostate who must be shunned and boycotted until she repents or the Hadd (punishment) for apostasy is applied to her. It is possible that a devil has possessed her and is inspiring her, making her think it is revelation.
