Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does deeming sins permissible make one a disbeliever? And do sins differ regarding the ruling on deeming them permissible?
Answer:
Deeming permissible. What has been unanimously agreed to be forbidden—pay attention to what has been unanimously agreed to be forbidden. Whoever deems it permissible is a disbeliever. As for what is subject to scholarly disagreement, the one who deems it permissible is not declared a disbeliever, but he is mistaken. He should be corrected and shown that this opinion is wrong and that the evidence is such-and-such. This is explained to him, but he is not declared a disbeliever. Yes.
