The answer

Intentionally making a grammatical error (laḥn) in the Book of Allah is a grave sin, but it is not disbelief (kufr) in itself. Rather, disbelief occurs when the intentional grammatical error alters the meaning, coupled with the intention of mockery or stubbornness, or deeming it permissible, or believing in its altered meaning.
