The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is there a difference in the ruling between one who considers sins permissible and one who persists in committing sins?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is a difference between them. The one who considers sins permissible is in danger of disbelief. As for the second one, what is he?
The questioner:
He persists in committing sins.
The Shaykh:
This is lighter than the first, lighter than the first, but one fears for him the punishment, and one fears for him the blinding of insight and the blinding of the heart. Yes.
