Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for us to say about a certain person that he is a hypocrite because he has committed a prohibited act or supported the disbelievers in some of their actions?
Answer:
It is said that there is hypocrisy in it; it may be severe hypocrisy or it may be lesser hypocrisy, Allah knows best. But whoever displays the speech of the hypocrites and speaks in a manner resembling the speech of the hypocrites, there is hypocrisy in that.
