Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: One of the students of knowledge interpreted faith (iman) as tawhid (the oneness of Allah), so if a person commits a sin, he has broken his tawhid. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
Faith includes tawhid. Faith in Allah includes faith in His lordship, His divinity, His worship, His names, and His attributes. It includes all of this; faith encompasses all of it. So the one who falls short in tawhid and associates partners with Allah is not a believer, without a doubt. The head of faith is tawhid. Singling out Allah in worship is the head of faith. Yes.
