Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, these questions have been repeated, and this is one of them: Are deeds a condition for the validity of faith, or are they not a condition? And what is [the ruling]?
Answer:
The one who says that deeds are a condition is a Murji'i. The Murji'ah, among the Hanafis and others, say that deeds are not a condition. They say that deeds are included in faith; they are part of faith, not a condition. They are part of the reality of faith. So faith is speech, belief, and action. They did not realize that action is a condition. They say it is part of the reality of faith, so one is not a believer except by action. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
