Islamic Studies The Five Pillars of Islam – First Pillar: Shahadah (Kalimah Tayyibah)

A person recites the Shahadah verbally but worships graves. What is the Islamic ruling on their Shahadah?

A Valid, as verbal recitation is sufficient

B Valid, but they need to repent

C Invalid, as worshiping graves violates the 8th condition (rejection of false deities)

D Valid with minor sin

Explanation

Worshiping graves violates the 8th condition of Shahadah — "Rejection of False Deities." Grave worship is Major Shirk, which nullifies the Shahadah. Verbal recitation without fulfilling conditions is insufficient.
