Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Professor, regarding the nullifiers of Islam, naturally the first is shirk (associating partners with Allah); [An-Nisa 4:48] showing support for the polytheists and assisting them against the Muslims, and the evidence is His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:51], the professor, for example, here says: he is not infallible... do we not take much from him, and you...?
The Shaykh: We take what is established by evidence. What is the evidence?
The questioner: ... No, when we see this statement and the evidence, we take it, if Allah wills. When it comes to showing support for the polytheists and assisting them against the Muslims, and the evidence is His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:51], so what is this? Is it a nullifier? It is a nullifier; because he considered it a nullifier and brought this verse.
Another questioner: ... Our brothers... before the Maghrib prayer... because the congregation is waiting...
The Shaykh : ... .
Another questioner: We came out after Maghrib like this.
The Shaykh : ... .
We are, if Allah wills, in agreement on the principle.
Another questioner : And what is it?
The Shaykh: Not imitating men.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Allah said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:51] This formulation has many examples in the Islamic Shari'ah, Sunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani); does the meaning of imply that he is one of them in heart, or is he one of them in form, or is he one of them in both heart and form? It is necessary to observe the previous interpretation, otherwise the Muslim falls into kufr (disbelief) in such a way that he wants to save people from kufr.
So now, doesSunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) mean kufr? Does mean kufr? How do you understand these texts? I understand this text, and yet I say: Sunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) is like this verse: [Al-Ma'idah 5:51], this is from the eloquence of the Qur'an. "Among them" must be interpreted... the text must be interpreted within the limits of reality, and this is a very sensitive point. If a person disbelieves in his heart, not... it is a bit sensitive. He disbelieves in his heart, but he does not know that it is kufr. Is this included in His saying, the Exalted: [An-Nisa 4:48] or [An-Nisa 4:57] or similar texts that we are certain judge the disbeliever with eternal abode in the Fire? Does he disbelieve with these texts or...?
The meaning of my statement?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Okay, what is your opinion?
The questioner: Meaning, if he believes something in his heart.
The Shaykh: Yes, not just with his tongue; in his heart.
The questioner: Does he disbelieve in it, or does he not disbelieve but he does not know?
The Shaykh: Yes, he does not know that it is kufr.
The questioner: Therefore, what I believe... is that he disbelieves if this is specifically... his belief is kufr even without knowledge. Not knowing the principles that expel one from the religion is kufr, as for what entered the...
The Shaykh: ... a little.
The questioner: Go ahead.
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَAnd whoever is an ally to them among you
وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْThe Shaykh: We take what is established by evidence. What is the evidence?
The questioner: ... No, when we see this statement and the evidence, we take it, if Allah wills. When it comes to showing support for the polytheists and assisting them against the Muslims, and the evidence is His saying, the Exalted:
And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.
