What is the ruling on someone who commits a sin, believing it to be an expiation, and then it becomes clear to him that it is not an expiation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One who commits a sin, believing it to be an act of disbelief (kufr), does not become a disbeliever unless they deem it permissible. They must hasten to sincere repentance, regret their action, and resolve not to repeat it.
