Question:
This questioner says: Is having a bad opinion of Allah the Exalted kufr (disbelief) that takes one out of the religion, or is it one of the major sins?
Answer:
If one has a bad opinion of Allah and thinks that He will not support Islam and the Muslims, this is riddah (apostasy) from the religion. But if one has a bad opinion of Allah, thinking that He will not provide for him or give him anything, or something similar to that, this is a sin. However, if one has a bad opinion that He will not support the Muslims, and will not punish the disbelievers, and that He supports the disbelievers, gives to them, supports them, and strengthens them, this is riddah (apostasy) from Islam. Yes.
