Disbelief that expels one from the religion by mere presence of mind, and the disagreement of the Permanent Committee

Question:
This questioner says: What is your view of the one who holds that disbelief expelling one from the religion occurs only by the presence of mind? And is it true that the disagreement between the Permanent Committee and Ali al-Halabi is merely formal?

Answer:
Leave us alone with this talk. The issue of apostasy was clarified by the scholars long ago. It is explained in the books of jurisprudence and the books of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). We do not need a new person to come and confuse people with his ideas, his ignorance, and his baseless assertions. We do not need people like these. The words of our scholars are sufficient for us, and what they recorded in the authentic books of jurisprudence and creed is sufficient for us. We follow that and leave these new writings and this new pretense of scholarship that has occupied the youth and the people. Yes.
