The ruling on saying, "We believe in the resurrection, but we do not know if it is for the body or for the soul"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on saying, "We believe in the resurrection on the Day of Resurrection, and it is not necessary to know whether that is for the body or for the soul? We believe and we stop there."

Answer:
He says: This is not believing in the resurrection in the required manner. That is, if he says that the body is not resurrected, that is disbelief in the resurrection. The body is restored as it was, it is restored
As We began the first creation, We will repeat itكَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ
[Al-Anbya 21:104]
. So if he says that only the souls are resurrected, as the Batiniyyah say, and may Allah protect us from that, the souls and the bodies are resurrected on the Day of Resurrection, and the man is restored as he was in this world, such that if someone who knew him in this world passed by him, he would say, "This is so-and-so." So this confusion and this empty talk are not permissible. Yes.
