Does the one who says, “We were rained upon by such-and-such a star,” commit major or minor disbelief?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Does the man who says, “We were rained upon by such-and-such a star,” as mentioned in the hadith of Zayd ibn Khalid, commit major disbelief?

Answer:
It is minor disbelief, not major disbelief, but minor disbelief. However, if he believes that the star is the one that causes the rain, that is major disbelief. But if he believes that the star is a cause, then it is minor disbelief. Yes.
