بل نقول عمله هذا كفر، يبيح المال والدم، وإن كنا لا نحكم على هذا الشخص، لعدم قيام الحجة عليه
We say that this act of his is
Kufr which permits the wealth and the blood even if we don’t judge it upon THIS individual due to the Hujjah not being established
What do we learn from this:
• The Kufr act being committed makes one’s blood and wealth halal
as we know major Shirk & Kufr makes a person’s blood & wealth Halal as per the Hadith
لا يحل دم امرئ مسلم إلا رجل زنى بعد إحصانه أو كفر بعد إسلامه أو النفس بالنفس
& the Hadith
أمرت أن أقاتل الناس، حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله، ويقيموا الصلاة، ويؤتوا الزكاة، فإذا فعلوا ذلك عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم، إلا بحق الإسلام، وحسابهم على الله
This is a general ruling & not to be applied upon a specific individual until the Hujjah is established upon them
Which is exactly what the Najdis said
وإن كنا لا نحكم على هذا الشخص لعدم قيام الحجة عليه
They don’t apply this general ruling upon until the Hujjah is established
So there’s a general ruling which is that the Mushrik/Kafir’s blood and wealth is no longer Ma’soom
And there’s an individual ruling which is that we don’t apply the general ruling upon a specific individual until the Hujjah is established upon them
Like we gave in the example of Mushrik X who claims Islam but worships Ganesh
This person is not a Muslim and the general ruling is that the Mushrik’s blood & wealth is halal
However, we don’t apply this general ruling upon X specifically until the Hujjah‘s established upon him
You however said the Najdis permit the blood and wealth of this individual before the Hujjah has even been established basing this on your terrible translation of the part you read and missing out the passage right after
وإن كنا لا نحكم على هذا الشخص لعدم قيام الحجة عليه
“And releasing this judgement upon THIS individual specifically rests upon Hujjah reaching him”
It is crystal clear the judgement being referred to here is the ruling of Kufr that they said just a couple of lines prior that they do not apply it without Hujjah being established
You saying that it refers to “not labelling them Muslim or Kafir” is nonsensical because the Najdis (& anyone with common sense) already believe that anyone who in the state of Major Shirk & Kufr cannot be labelled a Muslim as shown here.
“We don’t say if he’s not a Kafir then he must be a Muslim”
Why did they say this right after the comment:
وإن كنا لا نحكم على هذا الشخص، لعدم قيام الحجة عليه
Cuz they don’t apply the general rulings of Kufr [ie اباحة الدم والمال] upon a specific individual until the Hujjah‘s established
However, because they say this, they’re telling you to not conclude that this person, since we don’t say he’s a Kafir before the Hujjah’s applied,
he therefore must be a Muslim.
This is not correct because, as mentioned above, you can’t be a Muslim in the state of Shirk at the same time. It’s a contradiction
You cannot be a Muslim whilst simultaneously believing there’s an independent creator other than Allah
It doesn’t matter if the Hujjah has reached
or not. You’re not a Muslim.
However, the judgement of Kufr (ie the general ruling of your blood & wealth being halal) being applied upon a specific person is predicated upon the Hujjah being established as they said in that same quote
It’s not rocket science.
Apparently I am a Takfeeri for saying you can’t be a Muslim & a Mushrik/Kafir at the same time 😭
This guy thinks you can still be a Muslim whilst believing Zeus is an independent creator of the universe because you’re a Jahil and so must be excused
It’s simple. If X is in the state of Shirk or Kufr, X is not a Muslim.
But the general rulings of Kufr [ie his blood and wealth being halal, being in hell-fire for eternity etc] aren’t applied upon X until the Hujjah is established upon him.
Now is this person in the state of Shirk/Kufr but the Hujjah has not been established upon him given the label of a Mushrik or not, this is a point of Khilaf as mentioned here
.@BroHajji says that he “takes knowledge from Shaykh Abdul Aziz Al Turayfi”
The Najdi Imams and I were labelled Takfeeri & ISIS forefathers/sympathisers by this ignoramus for saying that you cannot be a Muslim and a Mushrik at the same time
Let’s see if he is consistent
Abdul Aziz Al Turayfi says:
ولهذا نقول: نثبت الأسماء على من ظهر منه موجبها, ونُتْبِع الحكم إذا قامت الحجة عليه
Here we learn two points
1/ Al Turayfi affirms the name upon whomever we see doing something that necessitates that name being attached unto them
2/ Al Turayfi says we then follow up the giving of this name with the [relevant] ruling when the Hujjah is established
2- Why didn’t you read and translate the passage “وإن كنا لا نحكم على هذا الشخص لعدم قيام الحجة عليه? which comes right after the passage quoted above (Point 3)
It’s important to note that what we judge is based on what’s apparent and the Batin is left for Allah.
As for the statement that “الباطن يتبعه بعض احكام الدنيا” then if what’s intended is that the Istitabah etc is something that shows the Batin of an individual then this is fine
But still everything in this world is based upon the apparent.
Because we cannot label someone a Kafir except through what is apparent.
إذا كان يعمل بالكفر والشرك، لجهله، أو عدم من ينبهه، لا نحكم بكفره حتى تقام عليه الحجة؛ ولكن لا نحكم بأنه مسلم، بل نقول عمله هذا كفر، يبيح المال والدم، وإن كنا لا نحكم على هذا الشخص، لعدم قيام الحجة عليه؛ لا يقال: إن لم يكن كافرا، فهو مسلم، بل نقول عمله عمل الكفار
فهناك أحكام دنيوية وهناك أحكام أخروية، فأحكام الدنيا بحسب الظاهر وأحكام الآخرة بحسب الظاهر والباطن، والعباد ليس عليهم إلا الظاهر، وربنا – جل وعلا – يتولى السرائر. فإذا أظهر طائفة كفراً أو معين كفراً فإنه يكفره العالم إذا قامت الشروط وانتفت الموانع يكفره بعينه، ومن قام به الكفر
أو قام به الشرك سواء كان معذوراً أو غير معذور؛ يعني لم تقم به الحجة فهو كافر ومشرك ظاهراً.
فإذن من قام به الشرك فهو مشرك؛ لأن كل مولود ولد على الفطرة، والله – جل وعلا – أقام الدلائل على وحدانيته في الأنفس وفي الآفاق، وهذه الدلائل حجة على المرء في أنه لا يعذر في أحكام الدنيا
it is important to understand that judgements in this world are in accordance to what is apparent.
As for judgements based on what is on the inside (Al Batin), then this is predicated upon the establishment of the Hujjah Al Risaaliyyah (وما كنا معذبين حتى نبعث رسولا)
The second rightly guided caliph said:
إنما نأخذكم الآن بما ظهر لنا من أعمالكم، فمن أظهر لنا خيراً أمناه وقربناه وليس إلينا من سريرته شيء، الله يحاسبه في سريرته، ومن أظهر لنا سوءاً لم نأمنه ولم نصدقه وإن قال إن سريرته حسنة
