Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the prayer valid behind an imam who says that whoever says "There is no god but Allah" enters Paradise, even if he does not perform any deed, citing the hadith of the card and others?
Answer:
The hadith of the card applies to the one who said it and died without being able to perform deeds. He said it believing in it and having faith in it, and died without being able to perform deeds. As for the one who was able to perform deeds but left them and did not do anything, "There is no god but Allah" does not benefit him. Yes.
