If one declares a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a disbeliever after the proof has been established against him, and excuses him when it has not been established, is this considered similar to the position of the Murji'ah?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We say: If one declares a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a disbeliever after the proof has been established against him, and excuses him when it has not been established.

The Shaykh:
Who?

The questioner:
If one declares a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a disbeliever after the proof has been established against him, and excuses him when it has not been established, is this considered an error or similar to the position of the Murji'ah?

The Shaykh:
The question is clear, but it contains a contradiction. We say:

The questioner:
He says, may Allah preserve you: If one declares a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a disbeliever after the proof has been established against him.

The Shaykh:
After the proof has been established against him, and he did not accept it. If the proof was established against him, he did not accept it, and he was declared a disbeliever, then this is correct. Yes. Okay, continue.

The questioner:
And he excuses him when it has not been established.

The Shaykh:
How can he excuse him when it has not been established? He says the proof was established, and then he says when it has not been established? This is a contradiction. Yes.
