الجواب
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- It is to believe in the Prophet (ﷺ). This is the opinion of those who said they are Jews.
- It is to act consistently with their claimed belief. This is the opinion of those who said they are hypocrites.
