Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who denies what is mass-transmitted in the religion, such as his denial of wiping over the leather socks? Is he considered a disbeliever because of this denial?
Answer:
If he is a follower of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), meaning he is not doing it intentionally but is following others or offering a figurative interpretation, then he is not declared a disbeliever. However, if he is doing it intentionally, knowing the evidence and denying it intentionally, then he is a disbeliever without doubt. Yes.
