The Ruling on Denying Faith from the People of Major Sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “This is Ibn Janab, he is before me, and he is a believer.” Does this come from the faith of the people of the grave in that state? And if Nafi’? Then in this state, he is not among the people of faith.
Answer:
It is a denial of the perfection of faith, not a denial of absolute faith; it is a denial of the perfection of faith. The fornicator is not a disbeliever. If he dies while persisting in fornication, he is considered a believer with deficient faith, a doer of a major sin, exposed to the warning. If Allah wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him. This is evidenced by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:48] [An-Nisa 4:48] This includes fornication and all major sins. Yes.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُwhat is less than that for whom He wills
مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ
