The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is this principle correct? And is there a specific criterion for it, namely that whoever does not declare the disbeliever a disbeliever is himself a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is among the nullifiers of Islam. You will find it in *The Nullifiers of Islam* by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab: whoever does not declare the disbeliever a disbeliever is a disbeliever like him. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Because he has legitimized his religion and what he is upon. Yes.
