Is saying that Umar ibn al-Khattab erred, went astray, and acted immorally with his statement, "Whoever says that Muhammad has died, I will cut off his head," considered disbelief, knowing that prophets and companions are fallible? And is my belief that every sin is a branch of disbelief, and thus every person who has erred has committed an act of disbelief, considered disbelief? And what is the ruling on my statement that the fighting of the Companions among themselves in the Battle of Siffin is considered disbelief, based on Allah's ruling that fighting a believer is disbelief, taking into account Ali ibn Abi Talib's saying, "Our brethren have rebelled against us"? And what is the ruling on one who killed a Companion for a personal reason?

Insulting the Companions is not an absolute act of disbelief; rather, it has varying degrees. Describing Umar as misguided and immoral is a contradiction and not a view held by the People of Sunnah and Community (Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamaah). What Umar said upon the death of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was due to the overwhelming intensity of the situation, and he is not to be held accountable for it. Describing prophets as misguided and immoral is a misguidance that requires repentance, because prophets are infallible from major sins, and minor sins may occur from them due to their human nature, not with the intention of disobeying Allah's command. This belief is not considered disbelief due to ignorance, but it might be a form of obsessive whisperings (waswasah).
