Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: One of them said about Imam al-Barbahari (may Allah have mercy on him) that he has a tendency toward declaring people disbelievers, and that he has exaggerations in the creed.

Answer:
This is what they are doing with all the Imams of the people of the Sunnah; they say that they are those who declare people disbelievers. They called Imam Ahmad a declarer of disbelief because he holds that the one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever. They said this is not the case with al-Barbahari, so there is no consideration for these people, may Allah protect us from them, because they want people to remain as they are, and there are no nullifiers of Islam. They say there are no nullifiers of Islam; all people are the same. Whoever says, "I am a Muslim," is a Muslim, whether he prays or not, or whatever he does of the nullifiers of Islam, he is a Muslim.
