Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We hear that some of those who are on the verge of death are taught the testimony of faith but are unable to pronounce it. Is this evidence of their disbelief?
Answer:
Allah knows best. The important thing is not to spread these matters, saying so-and-so was told this and he refused to say it. Do not spread it; leave it alone, and Allah will take care of them. Yes, you should teach them "There is no god but Allah." If they say it, praise be to Allah. If they say something else or do not say it, do not spread this matter about them, for there is no benefit in it. Yes.
