Refusing to Acknowledge the Religion

Question

A group of Muslims declared in agreement: “We do not acknowledge the Sacred Law, the school or the religion,” and in this group are the imam of the mosque, the notables and the common people — all of them. What do the honourable muftis say, in religion and Sacred Law, about those who openly declare that they do not acknowledge religion and school?

Answer

[ar]رَجُلٌ قَالَ لِخَصْمِهِ: اذْهَبْ مَعِي إِلَى الشَّرْعِ — أَوْ قَالَ بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ: «با من بشرع رو» — وَقَالَ خَصْمُهُ: «پیاده بیار تا بروم، بے جبر نروم» — يَكْفُرُ، لِأَنَّهُ عَانَدَ الشَّرْعَ. أَوْ قَالَ: «با من شریعت واین حیلها سود ندارد»، أَوْ قَالَ: «پیش نه رود»، أَوْ قَالَ: «مرا دبوس هست، شریعت چه کنم» — فَهَذَا كُلُّهُ كُفْرٌ.
