Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, or rather this woman, excuse me, Umm Salih from Riyadh, says: What is sin, and when does it become a cause of exiting the religion?
Answer:
Sin is the violation of the commands of Allah and the commands of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So sin is the violation of the command, the Shari'ah command; that is what sin is. And it varies: some of it is disbelief (kufr), some of it is open sinfulness (fisq), and some of it is less than that.[An-Nisa 4:48] That is for whom He wills. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says, and [Al-Hujurat 49:7] indicates that sin has types: some of it is disbelief, some of it is open sinfulness, and some of it is disobedience. Yes.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَhas endeared to you the faith and has made it pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief, defiance and disobedience
حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَزَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيَانَThe presenter:
