Dividing disbelief into major and minor

Question : Honorable Shaykh, there is a question that is frequently asked about dividing disbelief into two types: major disbelief and minor disbelief. We ask you to clarify this issue. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer : All right, whatever takes a person out of Islam is major disbelief, and whatever does not take him out of Islam is minor disbelief.
So, if a person denies anything that the Shari'ah has brought, his disbelief is major disbelief. If a person is arrogant and refuses to worship Allah in any way, his disbelief is major disbelief. If a person is arrogant and refuses to worship Allah in a specific act of worship, then if the evidence indicates that it is major disbelief, it is major disbelief; otherwise, it is not. Look at the case of prayer. If a person is arrogant about it and abandons it, while he believes that it is an obligation, then he becomes a disbeliever with major disbelief, which takes him out of the religion. This is based on the indication of the Book, the Sunnah, the statements of the Companions, and the correct consideration of the matter.
And if a person commits major disbelief, worldly rulings and hereafter rulings follow from it. The worldly rulings are that he is not to be married to a Muslim woman, because Allah says: He is not to be washed when he dies, nor shrouded, nor prayed over, nor is supplication for forgiveness to be made for him, nor is he to be buried with the Muslims. Rather, he is to be taken out to a distant place, and a pit is dug for him, not a grave or a niche, but a pit, and he is left there as carrion is left, because he has no sanctity.
As for the hereafter, he will be gathered with Pharaoh, Haman, Qarun, and Abu, may Allah protect us from that. Therefore, I inform you, may Allah bless you, that abandoning prayer is a great danger. As for other acts, such as if a person abandons zakah out of negligence or stinginess, but he believes that it is an obligation, or if he abandons fasting or Hajj, he does not commit major disbelief that takes him out of the religion. All right.
Fighting, fighting the believers is disbelief, based on the saying of the Prophet: But this disbelief does not take one out of the religion. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted: until He said: "Indeed, the believers are brothers, so make settlement between your two brothers." Yes.
