Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Imam al-San'ani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is obligatory to single out Allah in tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in belief and action, for Allah the Exalted alone." What is the opinion of the one who says that action is not a pillar of faith, but only a condition of perfection?
Answer:
No, that is not what they say. What they say is that tawhid is not part of faith. They say the actions of the limbs are secondary, the secondary actions, as for the matters of creed, no, that is not what they say, and it is not faith except with them.
