Question:
If one becomes a disbeliever because he hates something of what Allah and His Messenger brought, is it obligatory for him to pronounce the testimony of faith anew, or is mere repentance sufficient?
Answer:
Mere repentance is sufficient. Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. So if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance.[Al-Anfal 8:38] If he repents with a repentance that wipes out what came before it, and if he repents with a valid repentance, then this is sufficient. This is the favor of Allah the Exalted and Majestic upon His servants. [Ash-Shuraa 42:25-26] This is among the blessings of Allah upon His servants.

Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَنتَهُوا يُغْفَرْ لَهُم مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ(25) And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do. (26) And He answers [the supplication of] those who have believed and done righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ وَيَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ
