Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Which of the early scholars said that the one who rules by other than what Allah has revealed is not declared a disbeliever unless he considers it permissible?

Answer:
You will find this in Ibn Kathir’s tafsir. Refer to the closest thing, which is Ibn Kathir’s tafsir, at the verse of Allah the Exalted:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
