The ruling on one who says to a disbeliever: "the other," without explicitly declaring him a disbeliever

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who says to a disbeliever: "the other," without explicitly stating that he is a disbeliever?

Answer:
This contradicts what came in the Qur'an, where Allah mentioned the disbelievers, the believers, the sinners, the obedient, the doers of good, and the honored ones. So Allah distinguished between His servants by their actions and attributes. One who does not distinguish between the believer and the disbeliever is a denier of Allah and His Messenger, and of the dictates of reason. It is necessary to call the disbeliever a disbeliever, and the believer a believer, and people are divided into believers and disbelievers.
