Question:
Is it acceptable to defend Dante?
Answer:
As the one responsible for eShaykh, and on behalf of all eShaykh staff, eshaykh.com and its staff do not accept that anyone defend Dante in regard to differences of religion. His erroneous statements are unbearable to Muslims. Also we do not accept anyone to lower the status of our Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad (s) or to humiliate him, for he is the Perfect Man created by Allah swt the Most High.
