Believing in all the commands of Allah Ta’ala

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it true that when you are not certain about some fact in Islam then you don’t believe in that? For example, if I don’t know about a ruling in Islam, I don’t believe in that?

Bismillaah

A: It is wrong. The right thing is that you believe in all the commands of Allah whether you know it or not. Thereafter when you are confronted with a situation then you don’t only believe in it but you embrace and practise it as well. It is stupidity and ignorance to say that I don’t believe in what I don’t know.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
