Does the major hypocrisy of a person who possesses the three characteristics of a hypocrite reach the level of major hypocrisy?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the three characteristics of a hypocrite are found in one person, does that lead him to major hypocrisy? And what is the guidance regarding the hadith: “They did not gather in one person except that he was a pure hypocrite”?

Answer:
It does not mean that he becomes a hypocrite in the sense of major hypocrisy, but rather that he becomes a hypocrite in the sense of practical hypocrisy, and it is more severe. This is because practical hypocrisy also varies; some of it is slight, and some of it is extensive. If it becomes great in a person, it may lead him to major hypocrisy; it may lead him to major hypocrisy. There is no good in hypocrisy, whether it is major or minor, and one should not be lenient with it. So, if you hear of this minor hypocrisy, do not be lenient with it, first because it is hypocrisy, and second because it may lead to major hypocrisy. Yes.
