Forwarding a video on conversion to Christianity

· 4 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I came across a video on facebook in which a Hindu woman was converting to Christianity. It was a ritual, some words were exchanged between the priest and the woman and then he baptised her. I forwarded this clip to many people in my contact list with no intention to inspire anyone to convert to Christianity (ma'aaz Allah) nor did I intend to promote Christianity, it was purely out of curiosity and sharing knowledge. What does Quran and Hadith say about this?

Answer

It is wrong. Make taubah for it and don't ever repeat it. And inform those to whom you sent the clip that you have done wrong and they should delete it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
