Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do the Murji'ah fall under the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 23a, given that they seek excuses for those who prostrate to idols?
Answer:
They are not excused on this basis. We rule that the one who prostrates to idols is a disbeliever. We do not say that he took the idol as a barrier, or that it is possible he took the idol because he found no barrier other than the idol. Glory be to Allah, these are far-fetched excuses. Yes.
