📌 This clip is taken from Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen’s (rahimahullah, d. 1421 AH) explanation of Kitab al-Tawheed, where he clearly explains the issue of the excuse of ignorance in response to a student’s question. ➡️ The one who commits shirk is a mushrik, not a Muslim — even if he claims Islam and performs acts of worship. ⚠️ This also serves as a refutation of the extreme Murjiah who falsely attribute to Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen their innovated view that whoever falls into major shirk or kufr remains a Muslim, and that kufr is only based on juhud (denial). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Official Statement in Arabic starts at (05:50) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v1NY83GC4o ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ Authentic and true, from the scholars to you ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Islam #Tawheed #Aqeedah #ShaykhIbnUthaymeen #ExcuseOfIgnorance #Kufr #Shirk #Iman #KitabAlTawheed #Murjiah #Takfir #Salafi #QuranAndSunnah #AuthenticIslam #IslamicKnowledge
