Is one who loves or admires sins, such as smoking cigarettes, music, and alcohol, considered an infidel?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The servant does not become a disbeliever merely by loving a sin, but it is not permissible to love it. Rather, one must strive against their soul to turn away from loving it and find solace in reflecting on the benefits of obedience. This is because "hatred for the sake of Allah is obligatory, and one who loves sin and is pleased with it is disobedient."
