[The ruling on one who says: (There is no god but Allah) while doing what contradicts it]
Many people say: You say: It is not permissible to declare a disbeliever one who says: There is no god but Allah, while doing what contradicts it,And they cite the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Whoever says: There is no god but Allah, sincerely from his heart, will enter Paradise) How do you respond to them with this, O Shaykh?
Respond to them with the same hadith: (Whoever says: There is no god but Allah, sincerely from his heart) Do you think anyone says: There is no god but Allah, sincerely from his heart, and does not worship Allah?! Because the meaning of There is no god but Allah is: There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah,Is it possible for a man to say: There is no god but Allah, sincerely from his heart, and does not pray, while knowing that abandoning prayer is disbelief?! This is impossible. So the hadith responds to them; otherwise, the hypocrites would not have entered the Fire;Because they say: There is no god but Allah, so if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) qualified it with this, then we say: It is impossible for a person to say: There is no god but Allah, sincerely from his heart, and not pray.
