Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the one who says to a person, "O hypocrite," but he does not intend that he conceals disbelief and displays Islam? Rather, he said it to him because he had lied to him. Has he thereby declared that person a disbeliever?
Answer:
No. If the reason is that he lied to him, then he is referring to minor hypocrisy (nifaq asghar). He is referring to the minor hypocrisy that is one of the characteristics of the hypocrites. However, it is not permissible for a person to say to his brother, "O hypocrite," "O open sinner," or "O enemy of Allah." It is not permissible for a Muslim to say this to his brother, even if he has wronged him. Yes.
