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 , 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.
