The answer

The questioner cautioned against excessive delving into matters of disbelief (kufr) and apostasy (ridda), indicating that his objection to the inclusion of the phrase "The principles of Islamic are the main source of legislation" in the constitution is not an act of disbelief, but rather falls within the realm of right and wrong, or lawful and unlawful. He clarified that this addition holds significance as a clear message, and that while the constitutional text may not be fully enacted, the Supreme Constitutional Court has interpreted it according to the universal principles of Sharia and its established, unalterable fundamentals that admit no reinterpretation or change, limiting it to definitive Sharia rulings.
