The ruling on one who is summoned to the court and whose writings contain disbelief

The questioner:
And the Shaykh sat, may Allah preserve them both, when a writer was summoned to the court, but he did not take [it] but fled,

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
When he is summoned to the court, but he does not look, but he sees, are his writings considered few in number compared to his writings, or is he punished for them?

The Shaykh:
That is, he is judged based on his words in his books and elsewhere; he is judged based on his words unless he repents to Allah and displays his repentance. Yes. Otherwise, it is said to him: if he remains upon this belief and these words, he is a disbeliever, until he repents to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
