Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The seventeenth question: What is the ruling on the one who says that the one who says that whoever completely abandons outward action is a disbeliever? This is a position held by a sect of the Murji'ah, known by some scholars as the "genus of action."
Answer:
As mentioned previously, action is part of faith, and action is faith. Therefore, whoever abandons it becomes one who abandons faith. This applies whether he abandons all action finally and does nothing at all, or whether he abandons some action because he does not consider it part of faith and does not consider it included in faith. This falls under the category of the Murji'ah. Yes.
