Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this statement correct, namely: Faith increases and decreases, and its people are equal in its essence?
Answer:
No, this is a statement of the Murji'ah. That their people are equal in its essence? No, the faith of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) is not like the faith of an open sinner among the Muslims. Who says this? Faith varies; there is no doubt in that.
