Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you, O honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Whoever says 'There is no god but Allah' sincerely from his heart will enter Paradise," what about one who says it but does not pray? Does he fall under this description?
Answer:
It does not benefit him; it does not benefit him. This applies to the one who says it at the end of his life and then his soul departs; he will enter Paradise by it. As for the one who says it but abandons prayer and abandons... "There is no god but Allah" does not benefit him. Yes.
