Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that also came in via the network, he says: Our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, is it permissible for a beginner in the pursuit of knowledge to rule that one who has fallen into disbelief that is known from the religion by necessity is a disbeliever? For example, ruling that one who curses the Lord is a disbeliever specifically if he utters it?
Answer:
Yes, if he curses Allah, or curses the Messenger, or commits one of the nullifiers of Islam, he is ruled upon according to what he did. But if he has an excuse among the excuses, he is to be advised and it is explained to him; or if he has a doubt, his error and misguidance are explained to him. If he accepts, praise be to Allah. If he does not accept, the proof has been established against him, and the advisor is free of blame.
