Description of one who commits a nullifier of Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Do you mean that we can describe a Rafidi as a disbeliever, or not?
The Shaykh:
One who commits a nullifier of Islam is described as such, whether he is a Rafidi or a pious person. This is a discussion about the nullifiers of Islam. Whoever has any of them is described as such.
The questioner:
They proceeded to it, so that his statement would resemble our statement, until he denied it. These are two likenings.
The Shaykh:
The Jahmiyyah likened the speech of the Qur'an to the speech of creation. They said that if we described Allah as speaking, we would be likening Him to the created, because the created speaks. Therefore, they denied speech for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This is a likeness to creation, and then a likeness to inanimate objects that do not speak.
