The questioner : His statement: Sahih al-Bukhari 7055, 7056 Do the three verses in Surat al-Ma'idah apply to him?
The Shaykh : Everything that pertains to declaring someone a disbeliever, and there is a well-known disagreement among scholars regarding these three verses: Are they descriptions of a single described entity? Or are they descriptions of multiple described entities, depending on the state of the one who rules by other than what Allah has revealed? Or are they not applicable to this Ummah at all, but rather pertain to the People of the Book?
