The Ruling on One Who Abandons All Deeds and the Meaning of the Hadith on Exiting the Fire

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I said, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Can one who abandons all deeds be considered a Muslim? And what is the meaning of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Or intentionally, he did not pray, did not establish it, did not pay zakah, did not perform Hajj, and did not do the deeds intentionally, then he is not a Muslim. How can one be a Muslim without Islam? Yes. There are truly many questions. You ask about the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that one who has not done any good will exit the Fire. This applies to the one who was unable to do the deeds, who died without saying there is no god but Allah, or was killed or died in that state and was unable to do the deeds. It is necessary to combine the evidences. We do not take one evidence and leave the other evidences. This is from the ambiguous statements, where one takes some sayings and some evidences and leaves the other side that explains and clarifies them. This is the work of the people of falsehood, and may Allah protect us from that. Yes, the evidences remain that deeds are necessary. How do we look at them all? And the hadith is general. Yes.
