Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man said, "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," and did not do anything, no prayer, no zakah, no fasting, and no Hajj, then he died. What is his ruling?
Answer:
If he left off the deeds by his own choice and laziness, he is not a believer and dies other than in a state of faith, because faith does not benefit without deeds. As for if he was unable to perform the deeds, he said, "There is no god but Allah," sincerely with his heart, but was unable to perform the deeds, and he died or was killed and became a martyr in the cause of Allah after uttering the two testimonies, then there is no doubt that he will be among the people of Paradise.
Yes. Like the hadith of the card, where he left off the deeds because he could not and was unable to do them, while he believed in them and was determined to do them, but he was unable to. In this case, "There is no god but Allah" benefits him.
As for the one who said it but did not act, while he was able to act and a period passed during which he could have acted but did not, then he is not a believer. Faith is not merely belief; faith must be accompanied by speech with the tongue, belief in the heart, and action with the limbs. Yes.
