The ruling on the one who does not denounce what is wrong with his hand, nor with his tongue, nor with his heart

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is the one who does not denounce what is wrong, neither with his hand nor with his tongue nor with his heart, a disbeliever? Because of his hadith:
beyond that there is no faithليس وراء ذلك من الإيمان
Sahih Muslim 50a
It is a clear report.

Answer:
Yes, it is the apparent meaning of the hadith. The one who has faith in his heart denounces what is wrong, even if only with his heart. As for the one who does not denounce what is wrong, he has no faith in his heart. If things are equal in his estimation, that is evidence that he has faith, even if it is weak faith, like a grain of mustard seed. Therefore, the scholars say: He is destroyed who does not denounce what is wrong with his heart. This is the final stage. Yes.
