Is one who deliberately lies about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared a disbeliever without qualification?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I read in the book al-Ba'ith al-Hathith, which is one of the books on the terminology of hadith, that one who deliberately lies about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a disbeliever. Is this the case without qualification?

Answer:
Yes, this is clear. This is clear: the one who deliberately lies about Allah or lies about His Messenger becomes a disbeliever. What follows this disbelief is that he lies about the Messenger deliberately, and the Messenger is the one who conveys the message from Allah. Or he lies about the Messenger, and this necessarily means he is also lying about Allah, because the Messenger is the one who conveys the message from Allah the Exalted. And And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Yes.
