What is the ruling on one who insults the religion, then seeks forgiveness, then returns to it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He asks: What is the ruling on insulting the religion? And if the man who insults the religion seeks forgiveness from Allah afterwards, whether on his own initiative or as a result of being forbidden from doing so, and then this action repeats from him repeatedly every day?
The Shaykh : This is a known answer. If that comes from him out of belief, it is disbelief.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Otherwise, if it is due to bad upbringing, he should be disciplined by being subjected to a discretionary punishment, if there is an imam who imposes such punishment.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is not disbelief.
