Re: Wahabis must open Makkah and Madeena to Non-Muslims (minus the hujj season)
-
The word ‘Wahabi’ is nothing more than a derogatory term used against orthodox Muslims. Therefore, please refrain from using such words.

Let’s not get off topic and on tangents. Topic on hand is the permissibility of at least allowing ahle-kitaab in Mecca and Medina other than during the season of Hajj and perhaps Ramadan when the place is packed as is. Sensible answers and opinions would do without any unnecessary mudslinging.

Could someone please post the definition of kaafir? To the best of my knowledge and understanding, ahle kitaabs are called ahle kitaabs because they believe in at least one or two of the previously revealed books. However, what makes them kaafir is the fact that they do not worship Allah (SWT) Alone and they do not believe in Muhammad (SAW) as the final prophet.
Please correct me if I’m wrong:
Kaafir - someone who does not worship Allah (SWT) Alone or does not recognize Allah (SWT) as the sole God and does not believe in Muhammad (SAW) as the last prophet. In addition, kaafir is someone who is aware of Islam and delibrately rejects Islam. I wonder if this would apply to the ahle-kitaab, as according to the Quran they have the signs in their books that speaks of the arrival of Muhammad (SAW).
Mushrik - a polytheist, one who associates partners in the worship of Allaah (Source). I think it’s those who don’t believe in any of the devine books and reject Islam, Allah (SWT) as the sole God and Muhammad (SAW) as the last prophet. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not too sure about this one.
I gotta try and find the fatwa that I once received, albeit it wasn’t the clearest.
