Types of Kufr and the Distinctions Between Them

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We would like to know the types of kufr (disbelief) and the distinctions between them in terms of sin.

Answer:
Kufr is of two types: major kufr, which takes one out of the religion, which takes one out of the religion, and it is the denial, rejection, or refutation of something that Allah has informed us of, or that His Messenger has informed us of, or upon which the scholars have reached consensus. So whoever denies any of that, he becomes a disbeliever. Whoever does not believe in the names and attributes of Allah, whoever does not believe in the divine decree and destiny, whoever does not believe in the angels, whoever does not believe in the messengers, whoever denies a pillar of faith, he is a disbeliever. This is major kufr, which takes one out of the religion. Minor kufr does not take one out of the religion, but it is a severe sin, and that is like...
...killing a Muslim, insulting a Muslim is open sinfulness, and fighting him is kufr. Kufr here means minor kufr. "Do not return after me as disbelievers, striking one another's necks." This is minor kufr, or it is a major sin from the major sins, and minor kufr does not take one out of the religion. And likewise, swearing by other than Allah. He said: The intent is minor kufr. The criterion for this, they said, is: if kufr is mentioned with the definite article (al-), it is major kufr, and if it is mentioned without the definite article, it is minor kufr. Yes.
