Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Baqarah 2:81] The Khawarij and others cite this to argue that the one who commits a sin or a major sin is a disbeliever from the people of the Fire, abiding therein forever.
Answer:
They deny some of the verses. "And his sin encompasses him." If his sin encompasses him, he is from the people of the Fire. But the one who has tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and has a major sin that has not encompassed him, he is a candidate for forgiveness, a candidate for repentance. Yes. The condition is his saying, "and his sin encompasses him." Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Allah the Exalted says:
Yes, whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
بَلَىٰ مَن كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيئَتُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَAnswer:
