(Ibn al-Qayyim’s Rejection of the People of Innovation in Declaring Disbelief) If that is one who declares disbelief, O nation of the ***aggression, from this upon faith has revolved between the reward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"If that is one who declares disbelief, O nation of the ***aggression, from this upon faith"
Meaning: If the independent legal reasoning that a person exerts, and then he errs in it, in that his assessment is: If this is disbelief, then who is [the one] upon faith? The interrogative here is for rejection and rebuke.
"has revolved between the reward and the two rewards *** and declaring disbelief by claim without proof"
Between the reward when? If he errs, and the two rewards if he hits the mark. And this declaring disbelief is not correct; there is no declaring disbelief. For this reason, he said:
"by claim without proof".
