Question:
And the seller, may Allah protect you, are the circumstantial indicators part of the greater thought or the greater?
Answer:
Ruling by other than what Allah has revealed is kufr (disbelief) in all cases. However, if the one who rules by other than what Allah has revealed considers this permissible, then it is shirk akbar (major shirk) that takes one out of the religion. But if he does not consider this thing permissible, and acknowledges that he has committed a forbidden act, and that it is obligatory to rule by what Allah has revealed, then it is shirk asghar (minor shirk) and a major sin among the major sins, as the scholars have detailed. Yes.
