Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the hypocrites who displayed zandaqah in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were not killed. Why were they not killed?
Answer:
Some of them displayed zandaqah in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for those who did not display it, they did not show zandaqah; they displayed hypocrisy, prayer, fasting, Hajj, and jihad. They did not display zandaqah, though disbelief was in their hearts. Allah knows best. This is known only to Allah, but we accept the outward appearance, while the inner reality is with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
