The scholars have unanimously agreed that the nullifiers of Islam are ten, as mentioned by Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. The reason for his limiting them to these is that they are among the most dangerous nullifiers and the most frequent in occurrence. Sheikh Ibn Baz mentioned that a Muslim may apostatize from his religion through many types of nullifiers that would render his blood and wealth permissible, and by which he would exit Islam. Among the most dangerous and most frequent of these are these ten.
