The ruling on one who denies the pillars of faith in denial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who forgets one of the pillars of faith?
Answer:
If he denies it in denial, he becomes a disbeliever and an apostate. If he denies it in denial, saying, for example, that there are no angels, or if he says that angels mean the noble spiritual powers and the good inner impulses, that these are angels, and the bad impulses are devils, he is a disbeliever, because he has disbelieved in the existence of angels and what Allah revealed about their kinds and attributes. Likewise, regarding devils and jinn, Allah informed us about them, and the messages of the prophets have been transmitted in mass transmission affirming the existence of jinn and devils. So whoever denies that and says there is no existence for them is a disbeliever, because he is lying to Allah and His Messenger and to the consensus of the Muslims.
