The Shaykh 'Ayd 'Abassi's address, and an explanation of the positions of the Islamic sects regarding excess and deficiency, and that the Salafi call is the middle path between them.

The student : In the matter of faith and declaring someone a disbeliever, there are people who are bold in declaring anyone a disbeliever, like the Khawarij, and there are people who are Murji'ah, who say that anyone who merely says "There is no god but Allah," even if he does whatever he does, is a believer. The Salafi call is the middle path: faith is belief in the heart, utterance with the tongue, and action with the limbs. However, the texts that have come regarding declaring someone a disbeliever are understood as negating complete faith, naturally, based on the various indicators and their conditions, which are mentioned in their proper places. There are many examples, but I will suffice with what has preceded, because I want to mention the other characteristics and features.
