Question:
In this time, there has appeared one who says that the one who abandons the category of deeds is a believer, and he calls to this opinion, and he frightens and threatens those who do not hold this opinion. What is the correct position?
Answer:
We have no need for this man or his opinion. The righteous Salaf, the scholars, and the imams have sufficed us, and they have explained to us that faith is speech, belief, and deeds, which increases with obedience and decreases with disobedience. If someone comes along later to be clever, we do not look at him at all. Yes.
