Question:
The questioner says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. Is it permissible to rule that these people are disbelievers?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to rule that they are disbelievers, but their evil deeds have consumed their good deeds. Their evil deeds have consumed their good deeds, unless this falls under the category of hypocrisy, where if he appears before people he shows obedience, but when he is alone he permits himself to commit forbidden acts and shirk (associating partners with Allah). In that case, he is a hypocrite. As for the Muslim, he may fall into some sins, he may fall into some transgressions, and there is no one who is free from sin except the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is not permissible to rule that he is a disbeliever, or to rule that he is a sinner, because he is a sinner. Yes.

The questioner says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A group of people will come with deeds like the mountains of Tihamah, and Allah will make them scattered dust. Then he was asked about them, and he said: They are those who, when they are alone with the sacred rights of Allah, they violate them.
يأتي أقوام بأعمال كجبال تهامة يجعلها الله هباء منثورا، ثم سئل عنهم فقال هم الذين إذا اختلوا بحرمات الله انتهكوها.Answer:
