The answer

Hypocrisy is of two types: major hypocrisy, which expels one from the fold of Islam (concealing disbelief while outwardly professing Islam), and minor hypocrisy, which does not expel its practitioner from the fold of Islam (practical hypocrisy), such as the characteristics: "If entrusted, he betrays; if he speaks, he lies; if he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous; and if he disputes, he acts immorally." People are judged by their outward appearances. The preachers of Islam in this era, despite everything Islamic being fought against, are the least hypocritical people; rather, they are persecuted. As for hypocrites, their characteristics are more apparent in those who are not preachers. Doubting the preachers is a distortion by the enemies of Islam.
