The questioner:
He asks: Is it among the requirements of disavowing the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) to declare as disbelievers those who engage in the worship of graves while uttering the testimony of faith?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
Is it among the requirements of disavowing the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) for us to declare as disbelievers those who engage in the worship of graves, even if they utter the testimony of faith and pray?
The Shaykh:
Uttering the testimony of faith is not sufficient as long as there is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and worship of graves. So merely uttering the testimony of faith is not sufficient, because they have invalidated it. They uttered it, but they invalidated it with shirk. So merely uttering the testimony of faith is not sufficient if they associate partners with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
