Kufr
Assalamualaikum my question is am i a kafir for not celebrating killing of people like samuel paty who insulted prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam i was definitely not content with what he did but the reason why i did not celebrate was that i was concerned that hatred for muslims will increase and am i sinful for asking the same question to my father
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Wa ‘alaykum us-salāmu wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Respected brother,
This thinking does not make one kafir, and so you are not a kafir. You are a Muslim.
Punishment of crimes is the responsibility of the state.
But brother keep in mind that non Muslims will never reconcile with Muslims unless they follow their wrong beliefs.
As Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala says in the magnificent Quran;
Never will the Jews be pleased with you, (O Prophet), nor the Christians until you follow their way. (2:120) Say: “Surely Allah’s guidance, is the true guidance.” Should you follow their desires disregarding the knowledge which has come to you, you shall have no protector or helper against Allah. (2:121)
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
