Question
One sheikh Fakhri Owaisi has severely criticized Hadhrat Muawiyah (radhiyallahu anhu). He claims that Hadhrat Muawiyah was involved in the killing of Hadhrat Uthmaan (radhiyallahu anhu). What is the status of a person who reviles the Sahaabah?
Answer
The reviler of the Sahaabah is a pure kaafir. Hatred for a Sahaabi is the effect of hatred for Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam just as love for a Sahaabi is the effect of love for Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Salaat behind this murtad is not valid.
