The questioner:
This questioner says: If a person deliberately opposes the Book and the Sunnah, does that make him a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
Is it?
The questioner:
If a person deliberately opposes the Book and the Sunnah, does that make him a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
This varies. If he did it knowing that it is contrary to the ruling, but his desire or lust overcame him, then he is a sinner. But if he did it deliberately, knowing that it is not permissible, and he persisted in it, then he is in danger of disbelief. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
