This questioner asks: When does one who denies scholarly consensus become a disbeliever?

He becomes a disbeliever if he denies it. Scholarly consensus is one of the agreed-upon proofs, along with the Book and the Sunnah. The third and fourth proofs, analogical reasoning, are a matter of scholarly disagreement.
