Statements Uttered When Faced With a Calamity or News of Death

Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-‘Uthaymeen [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said:

We hear many people saying statements and they don’t even realize its implications:

When a person passes away, we often hear people claiming that “Such and such person has gone to heaven”. Such a statement is actually Kufr as it implies that the person will not be resurrected; that they have passed away and gone either to Jannah or to Jahannam.

Most people don’t realize that such a statement has such implications; rather they offer such condolences by imitating the Kuffaar (therefore it is a sin to utter such statements even if they don’t intend to deny the Resurrection).

[Sharh al-‘Aqeedah as-Safaareeniyyah (Pg. 492)]
