📌 This powerful fatwa from Shaykh Ibn Baz (رحمه الله) clearly refutes the false understanding of the contemporary extremist Murji’ah. Those who claim that ignorance excuses someone even in matters of clear-cut shirk, and that we must still call them Muslims. In reality, the excuse of ignorance has nothing to do with labeling someone as a mushrik or kāfir in this world. Rather, it only relates to whether a person will be punished in the Hereafter. ❗ The danger of this bidʿah is severe—it undermines the foundation of tawhid and can lead a person out of Islam without even realizing it. Disbelieving in false gods and in the worshippers of those false gods is from the very core of Islam. There is no valid īmān in Allah without this. Whoever fails to apply this correctly risks having a corrupted creed and being liable for eternal Hellfire. 👇 Watch and reflect—this issue affects the very foundation of your Islam. 📎 Official Fatwa Source: حكم من قال بأن الذين يدعون الأولياء مسلمون؟ https://binbaz.org.sa 🔖 Hashtags: #IbnBaz #Shirk #Tawheed #Murjiah #GraveWorship #Fatwa #IslamicAqeedah #Salafi #Takfir #CallingToAllah #FalseExcuses #Kufr #ExcuseOfIgnorance #IslamicBelief #YouCantBeNeutralWithShirk
