Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does one who deems permissible any of the minor sins become a disbeliever?
Answer:
He does not become a disbeliever if he deems permissible something whose prohibition is agreed upon by consensus. As for a matter in which there is disagreement, he is excused from being declared a disbeliever because of the existence of the disagreement, as he may have taken or followed the opinion of one who said so, and thus the declaration of disbelief is withheld from him. So, declaring someone a disbeliever is only for matters that are agreed upon by definitive consensus. Yes.
