There is no disagreement in creed, and the disagreement is in the branches, not the fundamentals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the issue of declaring those who abandon prayer to be disbelievers a matter of creed or a matter of jurisprudence? Because some people say that the scholars have differed on it, so there is no harm in their differing in matters of creed.

Answer:
This is a defective statement. There is no disagreement in creed; the disagreement is not in creed. The disagreement is in the secondary matters. As for the creedal matters, there is no disagreement in them. The creed is as it came in the Book and the Sunnah, and as the Salaf of the Ummah and its imams held it. Yes.
