Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, no scholar has said that. Who said it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, it is not said that there is no sin after disbelief. Do you know what it means to them? They say that the one who permits himself to commit disbelief permits himself to say this. So, for example, if you see a man who is a disbeliever and you find him smoking, you say, "Come, my brother, it is forbidden for you to smoke," right? If you see him shaving his beard, you do not say, "Come, this man shaved his beard, and it is forbidden," yes.

The Shaykh : And what did he say?
The questioner : He said...
The Shaykh : Yes, he is asking about this. If the hadith is authentic, because most of what they mention is ... but if it is authentic that he said this, it is to make clear to people that this is not in accordance with the Shari'ah that commanded him. Even the laws of the Christians did not command this, yes. But his Lord, who is his Master, commanded him to do this, yes.
