Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Does
There is no deity but Allahلَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
[As-Saffat 37:35]
benefit its speaker, even if he does not disavow what is worshipped other than Allah?

Answer:
No. He who did not say "La ilaha illa Allah" did not say it sincerely; he said it only verbally, and it does not benefit him. Yes.

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the appropriate time to clarify?

We read the hadith that passed us by:
He who professed that there is no god but Allah and made a denial of everything which the people worship beside Allahمن قال لا اله الا الله وكفر بما يعبد من دون الله فقد حرم
Sahih Muslim 23a
his blood and his wealth, and disbelief. This is the condition. Yes.
