Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Many of the common people say that Allah is in every place. When you clarify to them that this is kufr (disbelief), they say, "I was ignorant of that, and a person is judged by his intention." So what should I say to you?
Answer:
Fine, tell him: Praise be to Allah that you now know the truth, and do not say it again. If he complies, praise be to Allah, he is excused for his ignorance. If he does not comply, he has become deliberate, and it becomes a major sin.
