The ruling on one who possesses the four characteristics of hypocrisy?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In Sahih Muslim there is an addition:, is it taken from this that if a person acquires all four of these, he becomes a hypocrite in terms of creedal hypocrisy?
Answer:
This is creedal practical hypocrisy, where one conceals disbelief, displays Islam, and harbors disbelief, while not harboring Islam; this is the creedal type.
As for the fact that one may betray, may lie, or may commit adultery in a dispute, this is practical hypocrisy. His faith becomes deficient, and it becomes apparent hypocrisy—may Allah protect us from it. If he dies upon it, he dies upon apparent hypocrisy, exposed to the warning; may Allah protect us from it.
It is called practical hypocrisy, yes.
