When does a believer move from faith to Islam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does every major sin other than major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief), if committed by a believer, cause him to move from faith to Islam?

Answer:
No. A believer may commit a sin and may commit a transgression, but he repents to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and remains a believer; he does not move to Islam, because Islam includes the hypocrite. Islam includes the hypocrite. Islam includes the hypocrite. As for faith, the hypocrite is not included in it. Yes.
