What is the ruling on one who rejects authentic hadiths, such as those found in the two Sahihs, and refuses them based on his intellect?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What about the one who rejects the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whose authenticity is agreed upon, such as those found in the two Sahihs, and rejects them based on his intellect? Do we declare him misguided or declare him a disbeliever?

Answer:
If he is one who interprets the text, follows a scholar without knowing his evidence, or is ignorant, then we explain it to him and clarify it for him. If he persists, he becomes a disbeliever by that, because he has become deliberate. If he deliberately rejects the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while knowing its authenticity from the Messenger, he becomes a disbeliever by that. Yes.
