The Shaykh : The Khawarij (an early sect that declared sinners disbelievers) took the second position, and the Murji'ah (a sect that excluded deeds from faith) took the first. The correct view is to combine them. It is said: If one kills a soul without right, his reward is Hellfire; this is what he has earned. However, there is a barrier that prevents eternal abode in it, which is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and faith. Thus, Allah the Exalted mentioned the cause, but the effect may have something that prevents it, so the cause does not take effect. This is like saying: Kinship is a cause for inheritance. Does every relative inherit? The answer is no. There may be one of the barriers present, such as the father being different in religion from his son, or being a slave, or being a killer, or something similar.
