Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It is reported in a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever saysSunan Abi Dawud 3116Sahih (Al-Albani), and that he is protected from the Fire. He asks: Is the intention merely the utterance without action?
Answer:
This applies if one is unable to act. If he says it and then dies without being able to act, it is sufficient. As for the one who says it, is able to act, and lives but does not act, La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah) will not benefit him. Yes.
