Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: My wife wants to go to her school, which holds the view of the Murji'ah regarding deeds. I know that she listens to you, so what is your advice to her and to me?
Answer:
My advice is that she not go to them, lest she be affected by their creed. Go to a school that is upright in its methodology, whether it is a group of people sitting together or a congregation. This is one of the trials, meaning that men, women, children, Bedouins, and city dwellers are chewing on matters of creed in this manner. This is from evil, and the one who bears this evil is the one who has put it upon his enemy. These people are in safety and tranquility regarding their creed, and they did not know anything about it originally. The mention of the Murji'ah only came about through people who claim knowledge, and who claim that they care about hadith, athar, and sunan, but they are not so. If they knew hadith, they would know that there are many hadiths in which deeds are included in faith. Faith is a collection of seventy branches, the highest of which is the saying "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), and the lowest is removing a harmful object from the path, and charity is a branch of faith, and other such hadiths.
So these people claim knowledge of hadith, but they are ignorant and know nothing, neither of hadith nor of anything else. So they introduced this delving and this argumentation among the people. It is upon us to be cautious of this school and its people, and to proceed according to what our Salaf were upon and what is in our sound books of creed, and not to pay attention to the sayings of these people, nor to let our children or our women go to them to sit with them and learn from them. Yes.
