Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is one who commits some sins considered among the pious and the righteous, or is that description for one who does not commit any sin?
Answer:
The one who commits minor sins, minor sins have expiations that erase them. As for the one who commits major sins, this diminishes his faith, but he does not exit from faith. He is between two things: either Allah forgives him, or He punishes him for his sins, and then he exits from the Fire. Yes.
