I was talking with my collegueas at work regarding a man who claims to be a prophet. In refering to the person I used the title given to him by the media. I said “Prophet So-So”… I do not think he is a prophet and did not intend to refer to him as one.
Is this an act of Kufr?
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
No. It is not kufr.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
