The Meaning of the Hadith: "Allah Will Take Out of the Fire Those Who Have Never Done Any Good"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah will take out of the Fire those who have never done any good? And what is the response to those who exclude deeds? And is this considered one of the issues?

Answer:
Deeds are a necessary part of faith if a person is able to perform them. However, if a person is unable to do so—such as if he embraced Islam and then died, or was killed without being martyred, or was struck by death before he was able to perform deeds—then Allah will save him from the Fire by his faith, because he did not leave off deeds by his own choice. As for the one who leaves off deeds by his own choice, abandoning the obligatory acts and committing forbidden acts, and saying that this is sufficient, that faith is sufficient without deeds, then this is a false statement. Yes.
