The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And what do you say about this?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : A man says he hates this man who comes to the mosque, raises his garment, and trims his beard like that? He hates him and says, "This man is extreme." Does he become a disbeliever or not?
The questioner : There is a distinction...
The Shaykh : Huh? And what is the distinction?
The questioner : If he hates him personally, then he does not become a disbeliever. But if he hates him because he practices the Sunnah...
The Shaykh : He hates what the Messenger brought.
The questioner : Yes, indeed...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Perhaps he was deceived, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, no, let us leave the matter of him being deceived; this is ignorance or something else.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : If he is knowledgeable and... mocks it, then he is considered a disbeliever.
The Shaykh : Sometimes, some people do not hate the act itself; they may hate the person personally out of personal dislike. But if he hates him for his action in accordance with the Sunnah, and what drives his hatred is that he acted in accordance with the Sunnah, then this is like what the disbelievers did with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They used to love the Messenger for his person, but when he came to them with the truth, they said: they said, "This is clear sorcery."
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, this is dangerous. This is very dangerous. This may lead to disbelief, because Allah said:[Muhammad 47:9]. But I do not think that anyone would hate it, because perhaps if he practiced it, he would not hate acting in accordance with the Sunnah...
