Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the meaning of the Salaf's statement (may Allah have mercy on them): "Whoever follows the dispensations (rukhas) will become a Zindiq"? Does this mean that he becomes a hypocrite?

Answer:
Because he follows his desires more than a hypocrite does, for he exits the religion. He takes every dispensation (rukhsah) that a scholar mentioned and every slip that a scholar mentioned, and he leaves the correct ruling. He is afraid that he will become a Zindiq. Yes.
