Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, may Allah reward you: Is the disagreement between the people of the Sunnah and the Murji'ah jurists regarding the deeds of the heart or the limbs? And is the disagreement verbal or substantive? We are asking for a detailed explanation.
Answer:
Their disagreement is regarding deeds. The disagreement between the Murji'ah jurists and the majority of the people of the Sunnah is a disagreement regarding deeds, specifically outward deeds: prayer, fasting, and Hajj. They say that these are not part of faith, but rather a condition for faith, either a condition of validity or a condition of soundness. This is a false statement, as we have known. The disagreement between them and the majority of the people of the Sunnah is substantive, not verbal; because they say that faith does not increase or decrease with deeds, so it does not increase with obedience, nor decrease with disobedience, and the faith of people is equal. This is because, in their view, faith is the affirmation of the heart along with the testimony of the tongue. This is a false statement. Yes.
