The ruling on one who grew up invoking al-Badawi and al-Husayn, while his parents say, "There is no god but Allah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What about a child whose parents say, "There is no god but Allah," but who has been invoking al-Badawi and al-Husayn since his birth? Is he considered an apostate?

Answer:
He did not enter Islam in the first place. The one who invokes al-Hasan and al-Husayn is not a Muslim in the first place; he grew up on shirk (associating partners with Allah), may Allah protect us from it. If he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It does not benefit him that his parents are Muslims; it does not benefit him if he is invoking al-Hasan and al-Husayn, even if his parents were the most righteous of people, that would not benefit him. Yes.
