Question:
Does obscurity and clarity change with differences in time and place?
Answer:
It does not change. The greater the ignorance, the greater the severity; the more the alienation of Islam intensifies, the greater the severity. However, as long as one is among the Muslims, hearing the Qur'an and hearing the Sunnah, having been conveyed, Allah the Exalted said: [Ibrahim:52]. The Qur'an is a conveyance, and He says, Exalted is He: [Al-An'am:19]. He has conveyed the Qur'an, and we say to him: Come, let us do such and such. He argues with you and fights you and does not give you what accepts the benefit. The people of the graves now are difficult to reason with regarding tawhid (the oneness of Allah) except with intensity. They do not allow anyone to reason with them; they see themselves as being in the right, except for whom Allah has mercy. We ask Allah for well-being.
Q: Is the discussion only about tawhid (the oneness of Allah), or does it include the issues of kufr (disbelief) from bid'ah (religious innovation), such as the Jahmiyyah?
A: The issues that do not lead to kufr (disbelief) are easy. The point is the issues that lead to kufr (disbelief).
Q: Is the ruling generalized for the common people, or is there a distinction?
A: The common people are with them. If they believe in their religion, they are with them, like the common people of the Jews and the Christians. So the common people of the Jews and the Christians are among them. As for the thing that may be obscure, such as the generality of power, like the story of the one who ordered his family to burn him, and he thought that if he was burned and scattered on a hot day, he would escape and be safe. So Allah ordered the earth and the sea to gather what was in them, then He said:Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 28:710? He said: Your fear, O my Lord. So Allah passed over him.

This is a message to the people
هَذَا بَلَاغٌ لِلنَّاسِAnd this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.
