Report that the spread of sins is evidence of deeming them permissible

Question:
The questioner says: There are some shaykhs who are called the "Awakening." In his lessons, he states that the spread of sins, such as singing establishments and the like, and the drinking of intoxicants, is evidence of deeming them permissible, and that this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). Is this report correct and in accordance with the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community?

Answer:
As for the word "Awakening," it is specific, meaning that the Muslims were sleeping and did not wake up until now. Who said this? The Muslims, praise be to Allah, are still awake and still in a state of awakening in their religion. It is a delusion, meaning they wake up as this person says. As for takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) for sins, this is the doctrine of the Khawarij. They are the ones who declare disbelievers for sins that are less than shirk, that are less than shirk. As for what is less than shirk, one does not declare a disbeliever for it, but the person who commits it is either judged to be an open sinner if his act is a major sin, or a sinner if his act is less than a major sin. He is called a sinner and not an open sinner. So these are three degrees: disobedience, open sinfulness, and disbelief. Should a person not judge people without knowledge and without insight? Yes.
