Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we have learned that faith is speech, action, and belief. The question is: if a person was born in Islam, what is the obligatory amount of speech? In other words, is it obligatory for one who was born in Islam to pronounce the two testimonies of faith?
Answer:
Yes. It is obligatory for him. If he does not pronounce the two testimonies of faith and leaves off pronouncing them for his entire life, he is not a Muslim. It is necessary to mention Allah the Exalted in the prayer. It is necessary that he recites the tashahhud in the first sitting and in the second sitting. Yes.
