One who commits a nullifier of Islam while acknowledging it as a major sin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If a person does something that scholars have established as a nullifier of Islam, and he acknowledges that he has committed a major sin and that he is wrong in doing so, is he a disbeliever?

Answer:
He is not a disbeliever, as previously stated, if he did it based on a figurative interpretation, or out of ignorance, or under coercion, or by following another scholar without knowing his evidence, then he is not a disbeliever. However, he is ruled to be an open sinner, a fasiq with deficient faith. Yes.
