Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: May Allah preserve you. What is the ruling on one who curses Allah and His Messenger and curses the religion? When he is advised in this matter, he excuses himself by claiming he is seeking livelihood and asking for fear and sustenance. Is this person a disbeliever, or is he a Muslim who needs to be hastened in repentance and disciplined? And is it said here that there is a distinction between cursing and [the other term]?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a person to be ungrateful to Allah in speech, action, or belief, and to say that this is for the sake of seeking livelihood. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, is the provider of sustenance, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted, is the One who provides sustenance. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, said:[At-Talaq 65:2-3] So sustenance is in the hand of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic, has decreed disbelief for whoever prefers the worldly life over the Hereafter. He, Glorified and Exalted, said in describing the apostates and the hypocrites: He, Glorified and Exalted, said: [An-Nahl 16:107].
So they were ruled to have abandoned their faith because they wanted to live with the people and be with the people. If only they had believed[At-Tawbah 9:59] and relied upon Allah, Allah the Exalted would have provided for them. Yes.

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُThat is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَSo they were ruled to have abandoned their faith because they wanted to live with the people and be with the people. If only they had believed
and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allah,"
اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللَّهِ رَاغِبُونَ
