This questioner says: Is the one who says that the one who worships the grave is excused due to ignorance considered a Murji'ah without qualification?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is the Murji'ah who says, "Do not declare them disbelievers," because perhaps he placed an idol in front of him as a barrier and prayed toward it. Glory be to Allah, he prays before an idol and turns toward it, and you say, "Do not declare him a disbeliever, because perhaps he took it as a barrier," meaning he did not find a barrier other than the idol. What is this talk? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The barrier is a recommended practice; it is not obligatory. The barrier is a recommended practice. Yes.
