The Ruling on Repeating Sins and Major Sins, and Whether They Take One Out of Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Does repeating the commission of sins and major sins take a Muslim out of Islam into disbelief?
Answer:
Sins differ. Shirk (associating partners with Allah) and arrogance take a person out of Islam. As for sins that are less than shirk and less than arrogance, these do not take a person out. He remains a Muslim who commits sins, and he is under Allah’s will: if Allah wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him. Yes.
