The Nature and Rulings of Insulting the Sanctities of Other Muslims

Insulting the sanctities of other Muslims, as a way to express abhorrence and lack of sanctity of a particular example among other religions and by the provoking of politicians and ill-wishers of the Muslim Ummah, has always been promoted as one of the ways to express hatred and dislike of that particular example. It is particularly popular among Muslims. This belief is due to the lack of comprehensive and integrated researches on this subject; therefore, recognizing the nature, causes, and rulings of insulting the sanctities of other Muslims is necessary to make an appropriate reaction. This research aimed to recognize the concept and nature of insulting and expressing its examples and the rulings in the Islamic jurisprudence. Achieving this goal is possible by the description and analysis of the library data collected. Citing the verses of the Qur’an, the Sunnah of the Infallibles (AS), and the lawful way of life sirah mutasharria’, the research confirmed that insulting the sanctities of other Muslims is forbidden under any headings.
