What is the ruling on seeking help from friends for studying, knowing that they curse Allah and utter obscene language?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Slandering Allah the Almighty is an act of disbelief (kufr) that expels one from the fold of Islam. Obscene language is a sin and is not characteristic of believers. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The believer is not one who slanders, or curses, or is obscene, or is foul-mouthed." One must beware of bad company, sever ties with them, seek out righteous students, and act upon the Prophet's advice: "Do not keep company except with a believer."
