Such individuals fear losing their authority, wealth, or sustenance and thus deliberately choose Kufr over Ēmān.
(c) The third is indifference, where one neither examines what the Messenger brought nor loves or hates it, nor shows allegiance to or hostility against it, but instead entirely neglects both following and opposing it." [end quote]
There is no disagreement on this matter among the Salaf or the people of truth and guidance. The only opposition came from some theologians (Ahlul kalam), and Muhammad Al-Imam has…
This treatise was authored by Sheikh Sa'eed Da’aas, a distinguished Sheikh who was murdered at the hands of the Houthis, may Allāh have mercy on him.
In this treatise, the author, raḥimahullāh, addresses the critical error that led Muhammad Al-Imam to absolve the Rafidha of Kufr.
EXTRACTED:
Al-Hafidh Ibn Rajab stated [Jami' al-'Uloom wa al-Hikam (1/130)]: "As for abandoning the religion and separating from the main body, it means apostatising from the religion of Islam, even if one professes the two testimonies of faith. For instance, if a person reviles Allāh…
However, seeing as this objection has been raised, then it is worth noting that Ahlus-Sunnah were initially lenient towards him when the agreement first appeared. I recall that during those days, our
Many scholars excused him at the time based on the mere act of signing the document. However, this changed when he made his statement during the ’Eid sermon, where he openly confirmed his actions, claiming to have done so by choice and as an act of nearness to Allāh Almighty.
This led even those who were initially aligned with him, including scholars from the Kingdom such as Sheikh ‘Ubayd Al-Jabiri and Sheikh…
May Allāh preserve you, Sheikh. I recall asking you previously about the third nullifier: "Whoever does not declare a Mushrik a Kafir, or doubts their Kufr, or validates their beliefs, is considered a Kafir by concensus."
I asked you specifically about Muhammad Al-Imam, given that he does not declare the Hoothees as disbelievers, nor does he deem their blood, honour, or wealth permissible. Doesn't this nullifier…
1. جهل إدراك؛ وهو عدم معرفة المعلوم على حقيقته
Ignorance of comprehension, which is lacking knowledge of something in its true form.
2. عدم القبول للمعلوم ولو عرفه وأدركه.
Refusal to accept [the truth], even after acknowledging and understanding it.
Both meanings are found in the Qur'ān.
The first type is exemplified in the saying of Allāh:
﴿قَالُوا۟ سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَاۤ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمۡتَنَاۤۖ…
BENEFIT 288: The difference between declaring Takfir on act and declaring Takfir on the doer
A matter that has confused many people, leading to dangerous pitfalls in takfir, is the issue of generalisation versus specification, or what is titled
فعل الكفر وكفر الفاعل
"the act of disbelief and the disbelief of the doer."
Not every act of Kufr makes the person who commits it a Kafir, and not every act of Shirk makes the one who performs it a Mushrik. In general, there are obstacles…
"The matter of coercion is divided into two categories: coercion to speak, and coercion to act. Coercion to speak does not entail any consequence, even if the coerced person says something like disbel
((إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى))
'Actions are judged by intentions, and every person will be rewarded according to what they intended.' It is clear that anyone who is coerced into saying something and does not intend it willingly is not held accountable. Coercion to act is divided into two categories: The first is whatever necessity allows, such as eating or drinking, and this is…
Likewise, declaring a believer to be a disbeliever is an act of disbelief, as the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘If a man says to his brother, “O disbeliever,” then one of them has incurred it.’ However, if such a
This approach was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions after him. They did not declare individuals disbelievers in cases of misinterpretation, and there are numerous examples to illustrate this.
3⃣. الخطأ والنسيان
Mistake and forgetfulness are considered preventatives of takfir.
Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
«ثمَّ الْإِنْسَان قد يبلغ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يعرف الحق في…
BENEFIT 287: Preventatives of Takfir (موانع التكفير)
Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamā‘ah do not declare anyone from among the people of the Qiblah to be a disbeliever unless:
(1) The necessary conditions are met (توفر الشروط), and
(2) The preventatives are absent (انتقاء الموانع).
Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
«لحوق الوعيد بالمعين مشروط بشروط وانتفاء الموانع»
"The application of the prescribed punishment to a specific individual is…
As for turning toward and reflecting on it, doubt will no longer remain, because it is inherently aligned with the truth, especially when considered as a whole, for its evidence of truth is as clear a
5▪️As for the Kufr of hypocrisy (النفاق), it is when one outwardly professes faith with the tongue, while secretly harbouring disbelief in the heart. This is the major form of hypocrisy.
[Madārij As-Sālikīn (1/520-522), Aṭā'āt Al-‘Ilm Edition]
Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim raḥimahullāh states:
As for major Kufr, it is of FIVE TYPES:
1⃣. كفر تكذيب
The Kufr of denial
2⃣. كفر استكبار وإباء مع التصديق
The Kufr of arrogance and refusal while acknowledging (the truth)
3⃣. كفرُ إعراض
The Kufr of indifference
4⃣. كفر شكٌ
The disbelief of doubt
5⃣. كَفَرُ نفاق
The disbelief of hypocrisy.
1▪️The Kufr of denial (تكذيب) is the belief that the Messenger is false.…
Have you ever noticed that the first session of a class usually has the highest attendance, or that the first video in a series tends to receive the most views?
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
"Shaytān is most eager to target a person when they resolve to do good or embark upon it. He intensifies his efforts against them at that moment to divert them from it."
[Ighāthat Al-Lahfān (1/60)]

All praises belong to Allāh, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allāh. To proceed:
I see that many of the posts criticising what occurs during the 'Riyadh Season' are not primarily aimed at condemning wrongdoing but rather appear to target and defame the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the land of the Two Holy sites—may Allāh preserve it and all Muslim lands.
While it is true that certain wrongdoing may occur, as is the case in any land, they are often magnified, and some aim to incite unrest in the…
BENEFIT 284: The Sweetness Of Following The Sunnah
Sheikh ’Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh says:
"We often repeat the saying of some of the Salaf:
«لو يعلم الملوك وأبناء الملوك ما نحن فيه لجالدونا عليه بالسيوف»
“If kings and the sons of kings knew what we experience, they would fight us for it with swords.” Allāh is great! If you were to ask the people of this world, "Who experiences the greatest joy?" They would say, "The kings and the sons of kings." This is true, but…
