🔥 Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan Exposes the Falsehood of the Murjiah 🔥 👎 The extremist Murjiah — from the liberals, the later Ashʿariyyah, and even some pretenders to Salafiyyah — claim that if a man prostrates to the sun, the moon, the stars, statues, or graves, calls upon the dead day and night for health and wealth, or even claims divinity for himself, he is still a “Muslim” who is merely ignorant and not a mushrik or a kafir — even when these actions are witnessed openly! 👎 Aʿuthubillah. Shirk is from the clearest of matters, made obvious in every verse of the Qur’an. No one has an excuse of ignorance in this. To claim otherwise is the deception of the extremist Murjiah. ⚖️ Ignorance, coercion, and mistakes only prevent punishments — they do not erase the names and labels of kufr and shirk that are applied based on outward actions when witnessed. Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalani (d. 852H) transmitted consensus on this principle, saying: وكلهم أجمعوا على أن أحكام الدنيا على الظاهر، والله يتولى السرائر “They ALL unanimously agreed that worldly rulings are based upon what is outwardly apparent, while Allah alone takes charge of what lies within." Fath al-Bari (12/272) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Understanding the Difference Between Description, Ruling, and Punishment This principle destroys the doubts spread by the Murjiah. It is one of the most important foundations in matters of kufr and shirk. 1️⃣ Description (al-waṣf): - Whoever falls into clear major shirk or kufr is described immediately as a mushrik or kāfir, based on his outward statement or action. We judge by what is apparent. 2️⃣ Ruling (al-ḥukm): - A qualified judge confirms the act, verifies accountability, and checks if barriers exist (such as ignorance in hidden matters, or coercion). Then he issues the official ruling. 3️⃣ Punishment (al-ʿuqūbah): - Before punishment, the person is invited to repent. If he refuses, the ḥadd is applied — and in cases of apostasy, that punishment is execution. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚨 Why This Matters This distinction is key to understanding the issue and avoiding the deception of the Murjiah. You may hear a scholar say someone is excused due to ignorance, and elsewhere say they are not excused — and think this is a contradiction. It isn’t. The problem is failing to distinguish between the ruling of this world and the ruling of the Hereafter. Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn explained this when asked about a woman who fell into shirk and was said to be excused, and that it was not permissible to make takfīr on her. He clarified: she is a kāfir mushrik in this world, but many people fail to understand the difference between worldly rulings and the rulings of the Hereafter. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 References: 📺 Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan – Official Video Fatwa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCBVV4_ep0k 1. 📖 Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan Quote: Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān explanation of Fatḥ al-Majīd.
