The questioner:
And his saying, and it is not. He saw that there is no takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever). According to the report of Ibn al-Zaman, that whoever does not have [something] in his heart or [something] in the door.
The Shaykh:
Yes, correct. This is the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), regarding the one who does not denounce what is wrong and says, "This is permissible," when it is actually wrong. This is making permissible what Allah has forbidden. He says it is wrong, he says by seeking it, and he does not become accustomed to it and does not feel jealousy. This is making permissible what Allah has forbidden and approving of what the people of deviations are upon, so that they become ready. Yes.
