Are Ramadan Blasphemy Laws a Biddah (innovation)?

[HaiderAmmar]

Read the statement of this scholar from Al-Azhar University (link):

Sheikh Mohamed Abdullah Nasr, coordinator of the Azhar Scholars for a Civilian State Front, said there is no proof in the Quran or the Sunnah - the prophet’s teachings - of the presence of an entity that penalized people who did not fast during Ramadan. “The prophet himself said Muslims fast for God so only God can penalize those who don’t,” he said. “The prophet never even scolded those who did not fast.”

There is not a single command in the Quran or Hadith that mandates restricting others from eating and drinking in public under the pretext of ‘respecting Ramadan.’ Similarly, no Hadith exists that prescribes the death penalty for someone who does not fast.

So, why then Islamic states are introducing this new Biddah and compelling non-Muslims not to eat in public?

 

[Farhan The Man]

Because muslims desire validation. Through compulsion.

Subjugating humanity is their goal.

Not one's discretionary submission to god.
