The Muslim Innovator and the Disbeliever: Which Is Better?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Are the Muslims who have religious innovations (bid'ah) better than the disbelievers?
Answer:
Without a doubt, the Muslim who has religious innovations or sins is better than the disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that. The disbeliever is in the Fire; he may be punished for his evil deeds, or he may be pardoned and enter Paradise, so he is among the people of Paradise, either from the beginning or in the end, because he is a Muslim.
