Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is there a difference between takdhib (denial), inkar (rejection), and juhud (concealment)?
Answer:
There is a difference. Takdhib (denial) and juhud (concealment) are synonymous. As for inkar (rejection), that is something else. A person may reject something without denying that it is true and established, but he rejects it with his tongue according to his desire, or out of greed, or out of fear. So inkar (rejection) may be due to greed, or fear, or something else. But juhud (concealment) in the heart is something for which no one is excused, because the action of the heart is something no one can force upon another, ever. Likewise, takdhib (denial) is an action of the heart; it is an action of the heart that no one can force upon another. Yes.
