Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It has become widespread in this time for people to speak about those who say that deeds in faith are a condition of perfection, not a part of its essence, and we need clear guidance from you in this matter.

Answer:
By Allah, we have explained, and the brother scholars have explained, in the schools, institutes, and universities, that deeds are part of faith, not a condition within it, but rather they are of its reality. Faith is speech with the tongue, belief in the heart, and action with the limbs. The belief that deeds are not part of faith has been imported to our lands; it is not our creed, and our scholars do not hold it. It is an imported creed, and it is invalid, because the doctrine of the Murji'ah is the doctrine of the Murji'ah. Yes.
