Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: How can we establish the proof against the polytheists who claim affiliation with Islam today, so that our responsibility is discharged? They say, "We testify to the two declarations of faith," but they commit acts of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
They testify to the two declarations of faith but contradict them. They contradict the two declarations of faith in shirk (associating partners with Allah), in worshipping graves, and in denying the names and attributes of Allah. Yes.
