Calling a person a kaafir
Question
Is there a Hadith stating ‘kaafir ko bhi kaafir na kaho’? If so, what exactly does it mean?
Answer
We haven't come across this hadeeth. In fact, this goes against the Quraan Shareef, since the Quraan Shareef instructs, "Say, 'O Kaafiroon.'"
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
