Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, why is the one who forbids earnings and trade and working not declared a disbeliever, even though he has forbidden what is known from the religion with certainty to be lawful?
Answer:
Who said that he is not declared a disbeliever? If he forbids what is unanimously agreed to be lawful, he is a disbeliever. If he forbids something unanimously agreed to be lawful, he is a disbeliever, because he is denying Allah and His Messenger and the consensus of the Muslims, unless he is ignorant, insane, or of unsound mind, in which case he is excused. Yes.
