The question

What is the method for advising someone who writes articles containing phrases such as "After you, my beloved, the angels ceased to be," and "Since it was said to your face, my lady, that Allah boasts of your beauty," and "O you, at the hems of whose garment purity performs ablution," and "My love for you is worship; your love is my temple and my sanctuary," and "He eats rice with angels," and claims that this is literature and metaphor? And what is the opinion of someone who is impressed by such words, especially if she is a girl?

The answer

This statement is abhorrent and shows ill manners towards Allah and His angels. It may even lead its author to apostasy due to the saying: "Allah boasts of your beauty." He must repent by refraining from writing such abominations, regretting what has passed, and resolving not to return to it. He must also adhere to the guidelines and conditions for writing love poetry.
