What is the ruling on an Egyptian woman's statement that Tahrir Square is holier than Mecca or the Sacred Mosque? And is insulting sacred things an act of disbelief (kufr)? And is preferring something else over them an act of disbelief? And is it obligatory to believe this as something known to be an indispensable part of the religion? And is remaining silent about inquiring about the ruling on a specific incident considered a denial of what is known to be an indispensable part of the religion? And what is the principle that someone with religious obsessive-compulsive disorder (waswas al-aqida) can rely on to identify matters of disbelief? And is a preacher's statement that discussing the virtue of seeking forgiveness (or any other religious matter) is endless considered an exaggeration, and is doubting this considered doubting the religion? And what is the ruling on someone who acknowledges the obligation of prayer but says that it is not important and that he will enter Paradise by saying "Lā ilāha illā Allāh"?

One should not humor the person afflicted with waswas (obsessive whispering/doubts) in their questions. Rather, they should be advised to completely ignore them, because it is a disease whose cure is complete disregard, as advised by Ibn Hajar al-Haytami and Al-Izz ibn Abd al-Salam. Whenever the waswas-afflicted person ignores them, they will soon disappear, but whoever pays attention to them will find them increasing.

And such abominable statements as "Tahrir Square is holier than Mecca" and "Prayer is not important" do not warrant an immediate judgment of kufr (disbelief) upon their utterer due to the presence of impediments, such as ignorance and misinterpretation.

The rule "whoever does not declare a disbeliever to be a disbeliever is himself a disbeliever" applies to kufr that is known by necessity from the religion. It does not apply to judging a Muslim as an apostate when they commit an act of kufr out of ignorance or شبهة (misconception/doubt), before the establishment of proof against them.

As for the preacher's statement, "If we were to talk about the virtues of seeking forgiveness our whole lives, we would not finish," it is an exaggeration. There is no need for questions stemming from it, as they are a result of waswas.
