Question:
He says: What is the punishment for one who acts according to the law of Allah and performs the prayer and pays the zakah, but commits major sins and some transgressions? What is his punishment in the Hereafter? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is one who commits major sins; he is threatened, threatened with punishments in this world and in the Hereafter. If the major sins carry fixed punishments in this world, such as cutting off the hand of the thief, stoning the adulterer, flogging the slanderer, and carrying out retaliation against the killer, then these punishments are carried out on him in this world. As for the Hereafter, his end is with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But we hold that the one who commits a major sin does not leave Islam or faith, and that he is considered a believer whose faith is deficient and who is exposed to the warning. If Allah wills, He forgives him; and if He wills, He punishes him according to his sins. So the result is that sins, whether major or minor, are severe in their danger, but major sins are more severe. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called them al-mubiqat, meaning the destructive ones, and may Allah protect us from them. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[An-Nisa 4:31]. Yes.
