On the authority of the
sons of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhab and Hamd Ibn Nasir, they
said in “Durar” (10/136-138) when they were asked, “no doubt
the believer in Allah and His Messenger when he says or does what
would be Kuffr in ignorance, while in that condition Takfeer is
withheld on him until the Hujjah Risaliyyah (the proof from Islam,
the Message, texts) has been established on him, so if the one in
such condition is killed before this Da’wah becomes apparent, what
is to be done?”
Then they answered saying, “If he was doing Kuffr and
Shirk due to his ignorance or due to the absence of anyone who would
inform him, then we do not judge him with Kuffr until the Hujjah has
been established upon him. But we do not give him the hukm of that of
a Muslim. Rather we say, this action of his is what permits wealth
and blood, though we do not judge upon this specific individual due
to the absence of the Hujjah being established upon him. As well it
is not said that if he is not a Kaafir then he is a Muslim, rather we
say ‘his action is the action of the Kuffaar and ruling upon this
individual specifically rests upon the Hujjah Risaliyyah
reaching him.’ Verily the people of knowledge mentioned that the
people of Fatrah (people who lived between two Messengers to whom the
Message of Allah did not reach) are to be tested on Yawmul Qiyamah in
that state, and they (ahlu ‘ilm) did not place the hukm (ruling) on
those people under Kuffaar nor that of the righteous.” [Ad Durar:
10/137]
Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azīz, the Judge of Ad Dar’iyyah,
in “Arrasail wal Masail An Najdiyyah” (5/576) when asked
regarding a believer in Allah and His Messenger, if he says or does a
thing that is considered Kuffr out of ignorance is Takfeer withheld
from him until the Hujjah is established upon him?
So he responded, “If he was doing Kuffr and Shirk
due to his ignorance or due to the absence of anyone who would
inform him, then we do not judge him with Kuffr until the Hujjah has
been established upon him. But we do not give him the hukm of that of
a Muslim. Rather we say, this action of his is what permits wealth
and blood, though we do not judge upon this specific individual due
to the absence of the Hujjah being established upon him. Likewise it
is not said that if he is not a Kaafir then he is a Muslim, rather we
say ‘his action is the action of the Kuffaar and ruling upon this
individual specifically rests upon the Hujjah Risaliyyah
reaching him.’ Verily the people of knowledge mentioned that the
people of Fatrah (people who lived between two Messengers to whom the
Message of Allah did not reach) they are to be tested on Yawmul
Qiyamah in that state, and they (ahlu ‘ilm) did not place the hukm
(ruling) on those people under the Kuffaar nor that of the
righteous.”
Shaykh
Hussayn and ‘Abdullah, the sons of Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhab said in
“ad-Durar as-Saniyyah” (10/142) in regards of the one who dies before
this Da’wah and was unaware of Islam (true Tawheed) and these are the
actions which people today do while the Hujjah has not been established,
what is the hukm concerning him?
So they both answered,
“Verily whoever from the people of Shirk dies before this Da’wah
reaches him, then the judgement upon him when he is known for doing
ash Shirk and dies on that as his Deen, then from the apparent he has
died on Kuffr. And no Dua’a, sacrifice or charity is done on his
behalf. As for his true reality then it is left to Allah. Then if the
Hujjah was indeed established on him during his life and was
stubborn, then he is a Kaafir in thahir (apparent) and batin (inner).
And if the Hujjah was not established on him then his case is left to
Allah.”
[Quoted by ash-Shaykh ‘Ali al-Khudayr (fakk Allahu asrahu) in his book ‘Mutamimah’]
