The questioner:

The Shaykh:
What is he saying?
The questioner:
He says: Is it correct to say that there is no certainty in matters of creed?
The Shaykh:
That there is no.
The questioner:
Certainty in matters of creed that.
The Shaykh:
Doubt in creed, may Allah protect us from it, is disbelief. Doubt in creed is disbelief. Creed is what is established in the Book and the Sunnah regarding faith in Allah, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and the divine decree, its good and its evil. There is no doubt in creed. Whoever doubts in creed is a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from it. Creed is certain. Yes. And that is why it is called creed; it is called creed only because it is certain and established. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
