Blasphemy in Wording [0:01]
The video begins by addressing how certain wordings can be considered blasphemous. It explains that insulting the institution of judges, for example, is more than just slander; it can lead to disbelief. Similarly, expressing dislike for something the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) liked, such as squash or rose oil, can also be considered blasphemy, even if one personally dislikes those things.
