Mu` meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah`s Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

is it allowed in Islam to say asslamo alikum to "Qaduanies " does we eat anything that is Hallal in Islam with them.

What about those people who already done these things with them.

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Can one say salaams to Ahmadis and eat their food

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His  forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

If a people believe in the advent of another prophet after the death of the Last Messenger of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws), and believe that this person received revelations from Allah Subhanah; then these people cannot be considered muslims!

During the life of the Messenger of Allah (saws), two people (Musailama ibn Kaddab and Aswad Anfi) falsely claimed Prophethood for themselves, and the Prophet (saws) declared them asa liars and apostates from the deen of Islam. The believers subsequently declared war against these liars and their believers and killed some, some ran away, and some of them returned back to the fold of Islam.

Thus, if today, one believes that there is a prophet after Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws) and he received revelations, he would leave the fold of Islam and will be considered an apostate. And such people should be treated by the believers as unbelievers! No salaams will be done to them, their ‘zabihaa’ will not be considered halaal for the believers, they will not inherit the believers, nor will the believers inherit them, they cannot marry among the believers and they will not be given a muslim burial! They will be treated exactly like the unbelievers.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
