Question:
This questioner says: What is Your Eminence’s view on the statement regarding leniency in verbal shirk, and the statement of some that we look at their intentions, for actions are judged by intentions?
Answer:
This is a fallacy. Actions are judged by intentions, yet he utters the words of shirk. This is a contradiction. Actions are judged by intentions if they are sincere for Allah the Exalted, and part of that is avoiding the utterance of the words of shirk. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
