Is backbiting and mockery among the sins that take their perpetrator out of the faith, based on His saying: “You have disbelieved after you believed”?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is backbiting, slander, and mockery among the major sins that take their perpetrator out of the faith, based on His saying, Exalted is He: “You have disbelieved after you believed”?

Answer:
This refers to the hypocrites, my brother. As for the believer, if something comes from him, it does not take him out of the faith. He does not exit the faith because of a major sin other than shirk (associating partners with Allah), but his faith becomes weak and his faith decreases, yet he does not exit it. Yes.
