The ruling on one who falls back from guidance but remains in Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the verse regarding Hajj apply to one whose outward appearance is one of commitment, but who then falls back from guidance while remaining in Islam, such as by shaving his beard, letting his garment hang below the ankles, and the like?
Answer:
These are sins, not apostasy. The discussion is about the nullifiers of Islam. The discussion is about sins and major sins that are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah), or minor sins; they do not fall under this matter.
