The worship of other than Allah is disbelief, and we say that his action is disbelief and we judge him accordingly!
Question:
“The questioner says: Who says that the one who worships other than Allah, like the one who calls upon and sacrifices for the awliyaa...Is it said that he is excused for his ignorance and that the proof has to be established upon him?”
Answer:
“The matter to me is; his action is disbelief without a doubt. His worshipping other than Allah, his calling upon other than Allah, is disbelief. So we say that this his action is disbelief and he is a disbeliever by that. As for the affair of the hereafter, has the proof been established upon him or did it reach him this it's affair is up to Allah, its knowledge. But in the dunya (this life) we treat him with that he is a Mushrik Kafir (polytheist disbeliever), we judge with the disbelief of his action and his disbelief specifically (bi 'aynihi), but his outcome its affair is up to Allah. We believe that whosoever meets Allah as a Mushrik (polytheist) then the fire it is his abode. Because Allah says:
{Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden paradise for him.} [Surah al-Ma'ida 5:72]
But Allah is most knowledgeable about the situation of his servants on the day of judgement. Yes.”

س:يقول السائل من قال ان من عبد غير الله كمن يدعو ويذبح للأولياء، هل يقال: انه معذور بجهله ولابد من إقامة الحجة عليه؟
الشيخ عبد العزيز آل الشيخ:الامر عندي فعله كفر بلا شك، عبادته لغير الله، دعاءه لغير الله كفر، فنقول هذا فعله كفر وهو كافر بهذا، أما أمر الآخرة هل الحجة قامت عليه أم بلغته هذا أمره إلى الله علمه، لكن في الدنيا نعامله بأنه مشرك كافر، نحكم بكفر فعله وكفره بعينه، لكن مآله إلى الله أمره، نعتقد أن من لقي الله مشركاً فالنار هي مقره، لأن الله يقول: ((إنه من يشرك بالله فقد حرم الله عليه الجنة)) لكن الله أعلم بحال عباده يوم القيامة. نعم
