Question
What is the status of a person who says that he does not believe in the Sunnah? He believes in only the Qur'aan.
Answer
A person who says that he believes in only the Qur'aan, not in Sunnah is undoubtedly a kaafir. Such a person in fact rejects the Qur'aan and the greater part of the Deen. Nowhere does the Qur'aan mention that there are five Fardh Salaat, nor does the Qur'aan mention the number of raka'ts, nor the method of performing Salaat. In the same way, the Qur'aan does not mention the thousands of masaa-il related to all acts of ibaadat and to all others spheres of life.
