The ruling on one who abandons all outward acts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and preserve you. The previous question: What is the ruling on one who abandons all outward acts entirely? Does he say the two testimonies and affirm the obligatory acts, but does not do anything at all? Is he a Muslim or not? It is known that he has no private member preventing him from affirming those obligatory acts?
Answer:
He believed in his heart and affirmed with his tongue, but he did not act with his limbs. He suspended all acts without an excuse. This person is not a believer, because faith, as we mentioned and as the people of the Sunnah and the community defined it, is speech with the tongue, belief in the heart, and action with the limbs. Faith is not attained except by the combination of these things. So whoever abandons one of them, he is not a believer.
