Does the following constitute kufr?

Question

Does this constitute kufr.

Saying to my sister that you should not marry someone who is conservative and will tell you to wear hijab.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Respected brother in Islam,

A person who adheres to Shari’ah is not a “conservative” person, rather he is an adherent of Shari’ah. It is incorrect to advise someone not to marry an adherent of Shar’iah implying that she should marry a non-adherent of Shari’ah.

Whilst such an advice is a serious offense in Shari’ah and one should repent from giving such an advice, it does not constitute kufr[1].

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

[1]  السابعة: ما فى البحر من باب المرتد نقلا عن الفتاوى الصغرى: الكفر شيء عظيم فلا أجعل المؤمن كافرا متى وجدت رواية أنه لا يكفر، تم قال: والذي تحرر: أنه لا يفتى بكفر مسلم ما أمكن حمل كلامه على محمل حسن، أو كان في كفره اختلاف، ولو رواية ضعيفة

[شرح عقود رسم المفتي ص٥٨ مكتبة البشري]

وَفِي الْخُلَاصَةِ وَغَيْرِهَا إذَا كَانَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ وُجُوهٌ تُوجِبُ التَّكْفِيرَ وَوَجْهٌ وَاحِدٌ يَمْنَعُ التَّكْفِيرَ فَعَلَى الْمُفْتِي أَنْ يَمِيلَ إلَى الْوَجْهِ الَّذِي يَمْنَعُ التَّكْفِيرَ تَحْسِينًا لِلظَّنِّ بِالْمُسْلِمِ

[البحر الرائق ج٥ ص١٢٥ ايج ايم سعيد]

قال القاضي عياض فى الشفاء نقلا عن أمام الحرمين الجويني: إدخال كافر فى الملة وإخراج مسلم عنها عظيم فى الدين
