The Difference Between Absolute Faith and Faith in General

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the difference between absolute faith (al-iman al-mutlaq) and faith in general (mutlaq al-iman)?

Answer:
Absolute faith is complete faith. Faith in general is deficient faith. Deficient faith is faith in general. This is the true faith of the one who affirms the oneness of Allah (tawhid), such as the sinner and the one who commits a major sin. He has faith in general with him. As for absolute faith, it is complete faith.
