Does the inability to bear patiently the abandonment of a specific forbidden act constitute a refusal to submit to Sharia?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Rather, he is among the disobedient. If he dies upon Tawhid (monotheism), his ultimate destination is Paradise. One must be wary of yielding to whispers (waswas) concerning matters of disbelief.
