The Relationship Between Deeds and Faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In his second question, he asks: Is the issue of whether deeds are a condition for the validity of faith or a condition for its perfection a matter of scholarly disagreement?
Answer:
This is a false statement. Deeds are part of faith; they are not a condition, nor are they something that completes faith. Deeds are part of faith, so there is no faith without deeds, and no deeds without faith. Just as deeds are not valid without faith, so faith is not valid without deeds. Leave us alone with these philosophies and these absurdities: condition of perfection, condition of validity, condition of such-and-such. Yes.
