Is the one who says that deeds are a condition for the perfection of faith described as a Murji'i?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on a person who says that deeds are a condition for the perfection of faith? Is he described as being from the Murji'ah?

Answer:
Yes, this is the position of the Murji'ah. The one who says that deeds are not part of faith, but rather a condition, a condition for its perfection, is mistaken. Deeds are a foundation of faith; they are a foundation of faith. There is no faith without deeds, just as there are no deeds without faith. They are not merely a condition. He says it is a condition for perfection, but what is it a condition for? It is not a condition for obligation. No, this is a great error. Yes.
