@authenticanswers: Is Someone Who Commits Shirk a Kafir Before the Hujjah Is Established? | Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 In this clear and detailed fatwa, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan refutes a common doubt used by the contemporary Murjiah to claim that the doer of shirk remains a Muslim: that before outwardly judging someone who commits shirk or kufr to be a kafir, the proof must first be established against him through discussion, and until then, he must be considered a Muslim. ⚠️ This is a false understanding of the issue! 1️⃣ If a person commits shirk while living among Muslims, then he is a kafir. 2️⃣ If he commits shirk in remote lands where the message has not reached him, then he is a mushrik from Ahl al Fatrah - meaning outwardly a mushrik, while his inward affair is left to Allah. ⚠️ In both cases, he is NOT ruled to be a Muslim. ✅ We rule by what is outwardly apparent. ❌ Suspending the outward ruling based on assumed inward factors, or requiring verification of their absence, is an innovation of the Murjiah used to falsely affirm Islam for those who commit shirk and kufr. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Islam #Salafi #Tawheed #Aqeedah #Sunnah
