Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Does one who prostrates to other than Allah become a disbeliever absolutely, even if we do not investigate his creed?
Answer:
Even if. Even if we do not investigate his creed. It is sufficient that he prostrated to other than Allah, and whoever directs any type of worship to other than Allah is a disbeliever who associates partners with Allah, so he is one who associates partners with Allah, and prostration is among the greatest types of worship. As for what is in the hearts, we judge by the outward appearance; we judge by the outward appearance. As for the hearts, their matter is with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
