Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadithSahih Muslim 49a the hadith up to the phrase "and there is no grain of mustard seed of faith beyond that." Does this mean that the one who does not forbid what is wrong, even if it is a sin, has no faith at all, or is his faith deficient? He has no
Answer:
If he does not forbid what is wrong, and if he says that what contradicts this is fine, that zina is fine, that theft is fine, and he does not consider it wrong, then this person is a disbeliever who denies Allah and His Messenger. If he deems the forbidden permissible, or deems the permissible forbidden, and says there is no harm in any of it, and does not forbid this, and does not forbid the forbidden, then he is a disbeliever, for there is no grain of mustard seed of faith beyond that. Yes. The one who acknowledges the forbidden things and considers them permissible, or considers them to be without harm, is a disbeliever. Yes.
