Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. Is it permissible for us to say to one who leaves the congregation that he is a disbeliever?
Answer:
We say: He is a disbeliever in the sense of minor shirk (associating partners with Allah). He is not a disbeliever who has left the religion, but he is a sinner, and he is a disbeliever in the sense of minor shirk.
