Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If someone were to say that whoever does not have patience has committed disbelief, because patience is to religion what the head is to the body, is this statement correct?
Answer:
No, it is not said that whoever does not have patience has committed disbelief. A person is weak and human; it is possible that this matter causes him pain and he does not have patience. There is no doubt that patience leads to obedience, to not being distressed, and to not being dissatisfied. But it is not said that whoever does not have patience is a disbeliever absolutely. Yes, if he does something that necessitates disbelief, if he does something that necessitates disbelief due to his lack of patience, he becomes a disbeliever. But if he does not do anything and only experiences some distress, then it is said that he is among the people of major sins, like the wailing woman. She is among the people of major sins, not among the people of disbelief. Yes.
