The questioner:
That they choose, that the people of the Sunnah choose, and even if it is possible that he dies now, and if it was
The Shaykh:
This question is difficult, or do the people of the Sunnah consider them to be Muslims or not? If they are from the people of the Sunnah and they are from the Muslims, no one is from the people of the Sunnah unless he is a Muslim. But he says, “Read in this article, may Allah forgive them,” this is an error. Otherwise, they are Muslims and people of the Sunnah, and praise be to Allah. But this statement is an error. Yes.
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
I say. I mean, it does not increase or decrease in the heart. This is the intended meaning. So whatever obedience a person performs, the faith in his heart and his certainty increase, and whatever disobedience he performs, the faith in his heart and his certainty decrease. Yes. As for the issue of the increase of reward and the increase of punishment in disobedience, that is another known matter. Yes.
Many, and also those in which the Muslim is mentioned are many, and they are called the nullifiers of Islam. The greatest of them are the ten nullifiers mentioned by the Shaykh of Islam, Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him). These ten nullifiers of Islam are the most important and the most frequent in occurrence. Otherwise, the nullifiers are many. The author of al-Iqna' says, as I recall, that they reach close to four hundred. Yes, verbal, practical, and heart-related, and speech-related, and so on. Yes.
