Does a person become an unbeliever if he conditions disbelief on a forbidden act, then commits it after pronouncing the Two Testimonies, knowing that the act is not originally an act of disbelief? And does he become an unbeliever if he conditions disbelief on acts he did not commit, then commits them after pronouncing the Two Testimonies, or commits them before pronouncing them and then commits them afterwards?
The majority of scholars hold that whoever says, "I disbelieve in Allah if I do such-and-such," and then does it, does not become a kafir (disbeliever) by that, unless he harbored disbelief in his heart. He must repent and seek forgiveness. However, if he intended to be pleased with that action, then he is an immediate disbeliever. Scholars differed on whether this constitutes an oath, and the majority opinion is that it is not an oath and does not require expiation.
