Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is meant by the fasiq (open sinner)? Is it the one who listens to singing and music?
Answer:
You heard the statement: the fasiq is the one who commits a major sin other than shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is the fasiq, such as one who commits zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), drinks khamr (intoxicants), or commits a major sin among the major sins. As for the one who commits a minor sin among the minor sins, he is not a fasiq. He is a sinner. He is called a sinner. He is not called a fasiq. Yes.
