Does major kufr (disbelief) that expels one from the religion consist solely of disbelief in belief?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does major kufr that expels one from the religion consist solely of disbelief in belief, or does it include practical kufr, such that there is major kufr in it or from it that expels one from the religion?

Answer:
Practical kufr does not expel one from the religion; it is minor kufr. Practical kufr is minor kufr. What expels one from the religion is belief-based kufr in all its types. All types of riddah (apostasy) and all causes of riddah fall under belief-based kufr. Yes.
