Eeman and its Components Published by www.qsep.com

Thus, Kufr can also occur merely by statement of the tongue
or outward actions, without believing in them, unlike what the
Murjiyah say, because “Allah ruled Kufr on the hypocrites after
Eeman due to their statement and did not maintain any conditions;
such as whether they actually believed in it in their hearts also, but
he ruled Kufr on them merely based upon their statement.” [As’ilah
wa-Ajwiba fi Masaa’il al-Eeman wal-Kufr by Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan]
“So Kufr is the attribute of everyone who rejects something
that Allah has commanded us to believe in, after news of that has
reached him, whether he rejects it in his heart without uttering it, or
he speaks those words of rejection without believing it in his heart,
or he does both; or he does an action which is described in the texts
as putting one beyond the pale of faith.” [Majmoo al-Fatawa
(12/335)]
