The questioner : Disbelievers now, some of them benefit the Muslims.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The questioner : If he dies upon disbelief, is he like the other disbeliever?

The Shaykh : Yes, he is like him, because if Allah intends to reward him, He rewards him in this world. Yes, in this world only. But the one who commits aggression against the Muslims is not like the one who does not commit aggression, because that one is punished for his aggression. Yes?

The questioner : Shaykh.

The Shaykh : There are people here from before. Hmm.

The questioner : Every child is born upon the fitrah (the innate natural disposition).

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : For example, the children of disbelievers...

The Shaykh : But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Therefore, in this world, he is attributed to his father. Now, if a child dies and his father and mother are disbelievers, we do not bury him with us, nor do we pray over him.
