The Effect of Sins on the Perfection of Faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it true that faith is not completed with sin? And is it possible for faith to be complete while letting garments hang below the ankles, shaving the beard, and listening to singing?
Answer:
It appears that you do not understand what is being said to you. Sins diminish faith. Letting garments hang below the ankles and shaving the beards, all sins diminish faith. As for acts of obedience, they increase faith. So faith increases with obedience and diminishes with sins. All sins diminish faith.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
