The ruling on staying overnight for one night in Mina, and an explanation of the types of disbelief

The questioner : He says that he was outside of Mina, so what is the ruling on his staying overnight there?

The Shaykh : He owes nothing, because there is no ruling regarding staying overnight for just one night in Mina. However, we hope that in the future he will be more careful.

The questioner : The last question says: This questioner states that some people say a person does not exit Islam unless he disbelieves through denial only.

The Shaykh : This is not correct, because disbelief is of two types: denial and arrogance. Denial is refutation. So the one who refutes, even if he performs deeds, his deeds do not benefit him. If he were to say, for example, that the five prayers are not obligatory, he is a disbeliever even if he prays. And arrogance is also disbelief.
So disbelief revolves around two things, which are what? Denial and arrogance. This is known to whoever follows it. And whoever restricts it to denial only, he should review himself and fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Because if we were to say this, a person would say: I do not fast, I do not pay zakah, I do not pray, and I do not perform Hajj, while I affirm the obligation of these things. We say: This is a great error. So it is obligatory, O my brothers, for the student of knowledge to be patient, to reflect, to know the words of the previous scholars, and to have his knowledge built on Sharia foundations and observed rules, so that he does not misguide himself and misguide others. I ask Allah the Exalted, by His names and attributes, and we are waiting for one of His obligatory acts, between the adhan and the iqamah, I ask Allah the Exalted to show us and you the truth as truth and provide us with following it, and to show us falsehood as falsehood and provide us with avoiding it.
