The Shaykh : They are not addressed in the sense that, yes, they are not addressed. It is not said now, "We command you with the branches before the fundamentals." The hadith of Mu'adh is explicit in this.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, they are addressed in the sense that they are punished for them in the Hereafter only.
The questioner : Shaykh, it is not said...
The Shaykh : No, no. There is a difference between the one who says they are not addressed and not punished except for the fundamental of disbelief only, the fundamental of disbelief which is denial and refutation. As for being punished for leaving prayer, charity, and the like, no.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : There is no answer for that, and for this we said the correct view is that they are addressed by them in the Hereafter. As for in this world, no one says, "We compel them, O Muhammad."
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : They are addressed in the sense that they are punished for them in the Hereafter. This is the meaning of being addressed in their view. It does not mean that they perform them. It is agreed that they are not performed and they are not compelled to them in the state of disbelief. Yes.
