Examples Of Kufr Uttered On Occasions Of Death

• 23. Someone died, and upon this someone else said, ‘Allah should not have done this.’
• 24. Someone’s son died and he said, ‘Allah must have needed him.’ This statement is Kufr, because the one saying it is implying that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is needy. (Fatawa Bazaziyah ma’ ‘Alamgiri, vol. 6, pp. 349)
• 25. Upon the death of some person, it is commonly said, ‘I wonder what Allah needed him for that He called him so soon,’ or people say, ‘Allah also needs pious people, therefore He makes them die early.’ (Upon hearing this, people usually show approval, or they nod their head in agreement despite understanding the meaning of these phrases; the ruling of Kufr applies to them all.)
• 26. Upon the death of some person, it is said, ‘O Allah! Did You not even feel pity for his young children?’
• 27. Upon the death of some young person, it is said, ‘O Allah! At least You should have had mercy on his youth age. If You had to take someone, You should have taken such-and-such old man or old woman?’
• 28. ‘O Allah! What did You need him for that You called him back so early?’
