Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some scholars say that faith is affirmation with the tongue and belief in the heart, that faith is one, and that its people are equal in its essence. He asks: Is this statement correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct; this is not correct. This is the view of the Hanafis, who hold this opinion. This is contrary to the truth, and for this reason they are called the Murji'ah of the people of the Sunnah. This is irja'.
