First: Is a Muslim considered a disbeliever if he commits a sin and an infidel jinn begins to curse the Divine Being, and he does not immediately abandon the sin but continues in it while hearing the cursing? Second: Does the prohibition against sitting, in the noble Quranic verse: "And He has already revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah disbelieved in and mocked at, then do not sit with them, lest you be like them" necessitate immediate departure from gatherings of disbelief and mockery of Allah's verses, or is there a specific number of times one can hear disbelief in a single gathering beyond which a Muslim is not considered to have left Islam? Third: Is a gathering considered a gathering of disbelief if the infidel jinn curses the Divine Being once or twice and then falls silent, or is it not considered disbelief as long as he falls silent after his disbelief or engages in another conversation not related to disbelief?
We recommend patience and persistence in seeking healing by adhering to Allah's commands, shunning His prohibitions, embracing His piety, having good expectations of Him, frequently remembering Him, and reciting the Quran. Regarding falling into sins, it is obligatory to avoid them. If they occur, immediately seek forgiveness and repent, and follow up with a good deed that erases it. As for hearing the devil insult the Divine Essence, your dislike for this is a clear sign of faith and does not expel you from the fold of Islam, because you are coerced and unable to stop this voice. If there is communication with a jinn, it is recommended to glorify and praise Allah, enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong. Sitting with those who mock Allah's verses, while disliking their actions, does not expel one from the fold of Islam. The equivalence mentioned in the verse applies to disobedience, not disbelief, meaning it applies to committing the sin of sitting with disobedient people.
