Subject : Islamic Ruling on Ritual Bathing (Ghusl) for one who Blasphemes the Divine Essence
Fatwa Number : 4338
Date : 12-03-2026
Classified : Ghusl(Full body bath)
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

A man insulted the Divine Essence; is it obligatory for him to perform Ghusl?



The Answer :

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

Insulting or blaspheming the Divine Essence (Dhat al-Ilahiyyah) constitutes apostasy (Riddah). The perpetrator of this grave sin must immediately repeat the two testimonies of faith (Shahadah) and sincerely repent to Allah the Exalted. It is recommended (Sunnah) for them to perform a ritual bath (Ghusl), though it is not a mandatory condition [for the validity of their return to Islam]. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
