What is the validity of the statement: The conditions of "La ilaha illa Allah" are conditions of perfection, not conditions of validity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If someone says that the conditions of "La ilaha illa Allah" are conditions of perfection, not conditions of validity, is his statement correct?

Answer:
No, it is not correct. A condition is that whose absence necessitates absence, and whose presence does not necessitate presence or absence. Rather, its absence necessitates absence. So the absence of the condition necessitates the absence of the conditioned thing. Otherwise, what is the meaning of it being a condition? It is not a condition unless its absence necessitates absence. So if the conditions of "La ilaha illa Allah" are not present, "La ilaha illa Allah" will not benefit, because it is not merely a phrase to be uttered with the tongue. The one who says this speech is ignorant; he did not reflect. Yes.
