Is establishing the proof sufficient by being convinced by the evidence?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it necessary for establishing the proof that the one obligated is fully convinced by the evidence, or is it sufficient for the evidence to reach him with a clear indication? And who is the one who establishes the proof? Is it everyone?
The Shaykh : Yes, establishing the proof occurs by the evidence reaching the person. If the evidence reaches a person who understands the evidence, then the proof has been established against him, whether he is convinced by it or not. Because if we made being convinced a condition, the atheist would say that he was not convinced by the evidence.
