None of what was mentioned necessitates disbelief, for Allah Almighty says: "But whoever opens his breast to disbelief - upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment." And the questioner was wary of disbelief. It is incumbent upon the and the judge to act in a way that keeps the Muslim within the fold of Islam, even if there are ninety-nine reasons pointing to his disbelief and only one to keep him within Islam, acting upon the : "Avert the prescribed punishments from the Muslims as much as you can."
