Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The twenty-first question: What is the meaning of the statement of Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the third of the nullifiers of Islam: "Whoever does not declare the polytheists to be disbelievers, or doubts their disbelief, or validates their school of thought, is like them"?
Answer:
Yes, that is correct; because he is pleased with what they are upon and agrees with them in what they are upon. So whoever does not declare them to be disbelievers, or is pleased with what they are upon, or defends them; he becomes a disbeliever like them; because he is pleased with disbelief and affirms it, and does not denounce it.
