The statement of those who exclude deeds from the definition of faith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The writer says: A group has appeared among us who claim to be from the people of the Sunnah and the community. They say that faith is speech with the tongue and belief in the heart, and that deeds do not harm as long as the foundation of faith remains. They made deeds a condition that is not fundamental to faith, and that sins do not negate faith as long as the foundation of faith remains. Did you hear a sound in it, and what is its implementation before acceptance?

Answer:
This statement is contrary to what the people of the Sunnah and the community know, namely that faith consists of three things: speech with the tongue, belief in the heart, and action with the limbs. Faith is not realized except with these three. As for the one who excludes deeds from faith, he is among the laughable ones and is not from the people of the Sunnah and Paradise. Yes.
