Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Did Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) deny the declaration of al-Busiri as a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
Why?
The questioner:
He says: Did Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) deny the declaration of al-Busiri as a disbeliever?

Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab rules on the statement, not on the person, because he does not know how the person’s life ended. He does not rule on the person; he rules on the statement.
