Question:
The second part of the question: Does the one who takes these sins lightly become a disbeliever, even though he has not explicitly declared them permissible, but rather takes them lightly and commits them while knowing they are forbidden?
Answer:
If he believes they are forbidden, then he does not become a disbeliever. As for his taking them lightly, this is evidence of the weakness of his faith. His taking them lightly indicates the weakness of his faith, and it does not indicate that he is a disbeliever, as long as he believes that they are forbidden. Yes.
