Is the ruler who permits man-made laws and rules by them considered a disbeliever, or is there a detailed distinction?

The Shaykh : This is the ruling on the issue; it is necessary to make a distinction in it. Likewise, in the other two verses, the other one says: , . Just as disbelief is of a kind less than other disbelief, so injustice is of a kind less than other injustice, and so open sinfulness is of a kind less than other open sinfulness. This is the correct Islamic jurisprudence. When the Muslim understands this distinction, some of the difficulties will be removed from him. For example, the authentic hadith says: Sahih al-Bukhari 33 So, if one who speaks lies is a hypocrite, does that mean he has apostatized from his religion? The answer is: if he considers it permissible in his heart, he has apostatized from his religion. If he admits that he is wrong, then his open sinfulness is practical open sinfulness, not doctrinal open sinfulness. And so it is with injustice.
Then those are the wrongdoers
فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَThen those are the open sinners
فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَThe signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ). 3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest.
