The Honorable Shaykh says: What is your opinion of the one who says that the one who commits a major sin is in a position between the two positions, meaning that by his major sin he has exited the circle of complete faith, but has not entered the circle of disbelief; rather, he is in a position
Answer:

So this defends the statement of the Mu'tazilah and is not known; he went on to say about them what they did not say. Yes.
