Is saying "Allah throws trash like you at us" to another person disbelief or a sin?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Evil is not attributed to Allah Almighty out of reverence, even though everything is by His decree and creation. This is why it was part of the Prophet's praise, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: "All good is in Your hands, and evil is not attributed to You." Therefore, describing a Muslim as "trash" or "like trash" is forbidden and considered an insult to a Muslim, and insulting a Muslim is aفسوق (disobedience/sin). Hence, one must avoid using religious terms inappropriately during disputes or jesting, out of reverence for Allah, His prohibitions, and His rituals.
