Baudul As?ilah Anin-Nawaaqidil Islaam
Some Questions Pertaining to the Nullifiers of Islaam
Extracted from: Duroos Fee Sharh Nawaaqidul Islaam
By: Sheikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan [haafidhahullah]
Question: Is there a difference between the Nawaaqidul Islaam [nullifiers of Islaam] and the Nawaaqidul Imaan [nullifiers of Imaan]?
Answer: No there is no difference between the two, the Nawaaqidul Islaam are the Nawaaqidul Imaan.
Question: Is there an excuse for one to be ignorant of these nawaaqid [nullifiers]?
Answer: The ignorance differs, if the ignorant person does not posses the ability to learn them then he is to be pardoned until he is granted that ability to be taught them like the individual who lives in a distant land cut off from the land of the muslimeen where there is no one there other than the disbelievers, so this one is to be pardoned. As for the one who lives amongst the Muslimeen and in the land of the Muslims and he listens to the Qur?aan and the Ahaadeeth and the speech of the people of knowledge then this one does not have an excuse of ignorance and that is because the evidence has reached him but he never gave any importance to it but rather he says: ?this is the religion of the Wahaabiyyah, or the religion of the people of Najd or the religion of Fulaan and Fulaan [so and so] just as they say concerning Tawheed that it is the religion of Ibn Abdul Wahhab while in reality it is the religion of the Rasool [sallallahu Alayhi wa salam]. Ibn Abdul Wahhab did not come with anything, indeed he only called to the religion of the messenger [sallallahu Alayhi wa salam] and they attribute the religion to him so they say: ?This is the religion of Wahhaabiyyah, this is the religion of Ib Abdul Wahhab, or they say this is the religion of the Khawaarij, the call the Muwahideen Khawaarij,? are these peoples ignorance excused!!!?? These people are arrogant and they have no excuse of ignorance.
Question: Whoever does a nullifying action from the nawaaqidul Islaam and then repents after that, is there taubah for this individual?
Answer: Yes, if one repents then Allaah accepts repentance, Allaah accepts repentance from all of the Mudhnibeen [those who do dhamb (sins)] from amongst the Murtaddeen [apostates] and other than them, Subhaanhu wa Ta?aalaa says: ?And verily I am indeed forgiving to him who repents, believes and does righteous good deeds?? [TaHa: 82] And Ta?aalaa says, ?Say O my slaves who have transgressed against themselves, despair not of the mercy of Allaah, verily Allaah forgives all sins?? [Zumar: 53] And Ta?aalaa says: ?Indeed those who disbelieve after them having faith and then went on increasing in their disbelief never will their repentance be accepted?? [Aali Imraan: 90] And Ta?aalaa says: ?And whoever apostates from amongst you from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the hereafter?? [Baqarah:217] Meaning whoever apostates and does not repent then this is the increase in disbelief, his remaining upon disbelief and if he were to repent then Allaah would accept his repentance. And Subhaanahu says: ?And whoever apostates from amongst you from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the hereafter?? [Baqarah:217] which indicates that if he died as a repentant Muslim then Allaah would have accepted his taubah and that is because Allaah accepts the taubah from the apostate and other than him when he repents to Allaah Azza wa Jall.?
Question: The Ulema [rahimahumullah] have found that there are more than these ten nawaaqidul Islaam, so why did Sheikhul Islaam [rahimahullah] specify these ten?
Answer: The Sheikh mentioned the most important ones and he did not say that verily there are no other nawaaqid other than these ten but rather he said they are the most important of them nevertheless the nawaaqid are more.
Question: Is there a difference between Kufr [disbelief] and Shirk [polytheism]?
Answer: Yes, Al-Kufr [disbelief] is more broader-general than Ash-Shirk [polytheism] and that is because disbelief can be due to denial of the Rabb Subhaanahu wa Ta?aalaa so he doesn?t believe in the Rabb, like Fir?awn and the Mu?attilah and the Dahriyyah and as for the polytheist then verily he believes in the Rabb but he commits shirk with Him and other than Him. As for the disbeliever then it can be due to heretical denial and it is also possible that he believes in the Rabb but he commits shirk with Him and other than Him. So between disbelief and polytheism there are generalities and specifics.

Salaam 'alaykum wa Rahmatullaah,
I perceive that their may be a mistake at the end of this treatise, wa Allaahu alam. It says:
 | quote: |
it is also possible that he believes in the Rabb but he commits shirk with Him and other than Him.
|
|
Is it possible to commit shirk with other than Allaah? What does this mean? Jazakum Allaah khair.
Was Salaam 'alaykum

As-Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu!
With respect to the text that was mentioned "it is also possible that he believes in the Rabb but he commits shirk with Him and other than Him." .The text in Arabic tranliterated is: "wa qad yakunu muqirran bir-rabbi walakin yushriku ma3hu ghayruhu" another possible translation could be "along with Him and other than Him."
With respect to your second question: "Is it possible to commit shirk with other than Allaah? What does this mean?
As you may have read in Usoolu Thalaatha Sheikhul Islaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab [rahmatullaahi alayhi] mentioned with respect to Shirk, he defined it as "Wa Huwa Da3watu Ghayruhu Ma3hu" It is to call upon other than Him along with Him." Insha Allaah I hope this is clear.

Salaam 'alaykum wa Rahmatullaah,
Jazak Allaah khair akhee, however I am still confused. I understand "It is to call upon other than Him along with Him" walhamdulillaah. But I still do not understand how someone may commit shirk with "other than Allaah" when "other than Allaah" is not deserving of worship.
It is similar to saying "he believes in Allaah but he commits shirk with Him (Allaah) and he also commits shirk with the grave" (wa a'oothubillaah). This is what I don't understand. Is it just that there is a difference between the linguistic and the shari meaning or is it something else?
Jazakum Allaah khair.
Was salaam 'alaykum

Here is something from another series of questions from Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, from an appendix to the forthcoming publication: Things that Nullify Your Islaam by Shaykh al-Islaam Muhammad ibn 'Abdil-Wahhaab, explained by Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan:
| quote: |
[Q1]: What is the difference between the kaafireen (disbelievers) and the mushrikeen (polytheists)?
[A1]: There are specific and general differences between them. Disbelief is more broader than shirk, since every polytheist is a disbeliever and not every disbeliever is a polytheist. The polytheist worships Allaah, and he also worships others. As for the disbeliever, then he denies the existence of Allaah, the Majestic and Lofty, and he does not acknowledge Allaah, nor does he acknowledge any of the religions. This is the disbeliever who is in denial. The polytheist acknowledges and believes, however, he worships Allaah and others. Thus, he is a polytheist disbeliever, since every polytheist is a disbeliever, and not every disbeliever is a polytheist, since the disbeliever could be an atheist in denial (of Allaah's existence). |

As for what was mentioned earlier about the mushrik "believing in Allaah", then this can be understood as his belief in the existence of Allaah, or His Ruboobiyyah, that which does not necessitate the absence of shirk, and Allaah knows best.
Moosaa ibn John Richardson

could another translation for that statement be:
"associates as a partner with him, (that which is) other than him"?
i think the "and" in "and other than him" is causing the confusion.

As-Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu, the meaning that you have posted seems to be the clearest meaning as of yet. Ahsanullahu ilayka wa Zadaka Allaahu Ilman wa Amalan wa Hirsan! Allaahumma ameen!Yaa Abaa Husaam. Jazaka Allaahu Khayran

Salaam 'alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuhu,
Jazakum Allaah khair ikhwaan. "that which is" is a whole lot more clearer. May Allaah reward all of the brothers who have helped in clarifying this and also for posting the beneficial knowledge contained in Shaykh Fawzaan's hafidhahullaah Question and Answers on Nawaaqidul Islaam, Ameen. Barak Allaah feekum!
Was Salaam 'alaykum wa Rahmatullaah.

The translation of that statement: | quote: |
| Wa qad yakoonu muqirran bir-rabbi walaakin yushriku ma`ahu ghayrahu |
|
is "And he could be in affirmation of the (existence of the) Rabb, but (still) associate others besides Him with Him (in worship)".
