The ruling on one who says that uttering the testimony of faith is sufficient for the application of its rulings in this world without its conditions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who says that in this world, uttering "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) is sufficient for the application of its rulings without its conditions?

Answer:
This is invalid, fabricated speech. In this world and the Hereafter, "La ilaha illa Allah" necessitates singling out Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for worship, abandoning the worship of anything other than Him, and standing firm upon that.
Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah," and then remained on a right course - there will be no fear concerning themإِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ
[Al-Ahqaf 46:13]
and they will not grieve. As for mere utterance without standing firm, it is of no benefit. Yes.
