Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Many questions, may Allah preserve you. I ask about the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) the hadith. He says: Indeed, faith rises from him entirely when he commits zina or becomes a thief.
Answer:
It is not entirely, my brother, that it rises from him; rather, the perfection of faith rises from him. The perfection of faith rises from him; it is not entirely. If it were entirely, he would become an apostate. Yes.
