Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, is disbelief and apostasy from the religion necessarily a matter of belief, and what is the ruling on one who mocks the religion and other actions that some scholars have classified as disbelief that expels one from the religion?
The Shaykh : I do not imagine a person who mocks the religion, meaning one who intends to mock the religion, except that he is a disbeliever with the disbelief of the religion. But here, what we referred to this morning applies: he is portraying a disbeliever who mocks the religion, but he does not intend this; rather, due to his ignorance and distance from the Shari'ah, he is portraying it and does not believe that he is taking the place of the actor in heart and tongue. So precision in the matter is necessary, and one must also observe that both the disbelief of the heart and the practical disbelief are required.
The questioner : Do you mean that practical disbelief is not sufficient?
The Shaykh : No, it is not sufficient.
The questioner : Except...
The Shaykh : And otherwise, what is the benefit of the distinction? The scholars' distinction between the disbelief of belief and practical disbelief. This pipe, excuse me, the valve, leave it standing like that.
The student : Okay, I will unscrew the bolt, it will flip upward.
The Shaykh : Health and wellness.
The student : Our Shaykh, when will the water come? When will the water come?
The Shaykh : On Tuesday, on Wednesday.
The student: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
The Shaykh : No, this hitting is not appropriate because this is not that.
Abu Layla : Come on, Muhammad... you have a good lesson.
The Shaykh : Heh.
The student : Do you remember, our Shaykh, when you work, it is fixed.
The Shaykh : Upward, I mean.
The student : Yes, our Shaykh. The weather is hot.
The Shaykh : May Allah help our brothers, these ones...
The student : There are a thousand blessings, by Allah, our Shaykh, but just from the house to the car... a place.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : The Shaykh is accustomed to shade; he was in Saudi Arabia for a very long time, many years.
