Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: In our country, there are many grave worshippers, and because of their number, some students of knowledge are eager to declare them disbelievers. He says: Because of their number, some students of knowledge are eager to declare them disbelievers, knowing that these people pronounce the two testimonies of faith.

Answer:
Pronouncing the two testimonies of faith is not sufficient for them while they worship other than Allah; the testimonies are invalidated. They are invalidated if they worship other than Allah. This is one of the nullifiers of Islam. As for the multitude of polytheists in your country, may Allah reward you with good, try to call them to the truth and explain it to them. Even if they do not all become guided, if some of them do, you have attained a great reward. Even if it is just one person, for Allah guiding one man through you is better for you than red camels. Yes.
