What is your opinion regarding those who call for rapprochement between the religions, and is a ruling of disbelief issued against them or not?

The questioner : He says: Your Eminence, there are those who call for rapprochement between the religions, and they claim that the people of Islam, the Jews, and the Christians agree on the principle of tawhid (the oneness of Allah).

If you die, you will have no honor; you will be left in a pit so that people are not bothered by your smell, and it is not permissible for anyone to seek forgiveness for you if you die in this state. Even the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The heavenly religions are religions as long as they remain; if they are abrogated, they are not religions.

But after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they all became disbelievers, and their deeds are not accepted, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: .
