Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I heard some of them say that one who commits an act of disbelief is not a disbeliever, and likewise one who utters a word of disbelief. He says that disbelief is of two types: one type of disbelief, and types of disbelief.
Answer:
It is not with a "waw" (conjunction). Allah has ruled that one who commits an act of disbelief or speaks a word of disbelief is a disbeliever, except for the one who is coerced. He did not make an exception for anyone but the coerced one, except for the one who is coerced and whose heart is firm in faith. He is not one who lowers rulings for us according to his own desires. Yes.
