In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Question [adapted]:
Ibn Taymiyya, may Allāh have mercy on him, was asked about a man who prefers the Jews and Christians over the Rāfiḍah.
Answer:
This is not a sign of righteousness; rather, light on one’s face, calmness in one’s chest, good manners, and the likes of it are from the indicators of righteousness. As for the mark that results from prostrating, it even shows up on the face of those people who only pray the obligatory prayers, from some kind of sensitivity in their skin. And it does not appear on the faces of some people who pray often and who prolong their prostrations.
Answered by Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy upon him).
