Are all ten nullifiers mentioned by Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab agreed upon?
There are ten nullifiers of Islam, upon which the scholars have reached a consensus, except for magic. Their details are as follows:
1. Shirk (associating partners with Allah) in the worship of Allah, such as invoking the dead and seeking their help. This is a matter of consensus.
2. Appointing intermediaries between oneself and Allah, invoking them, seeking their intercession, and relying on them. This is kufr (disbelief) by consensus.
3. Not declaring disbelievers to be disbelievers, or doubting their disbelief, or affirming the correctness of their path. This is a matter of consensus.
4. Believing that the guidance of someone other than the Prophet is more complete than his guidance, or that the حكم (ruling/judgment) of someone else is better than his حكم, such as one who prefers the حكم of tyrants over his حكم. This is kufr by consensus.
5. Hating anything that the Messenger brought, even if one acts upon it. This is kufr by consensus.
6. Mocking anything from the Messenger's religion, or its rewards, or its punishments. This is kufr by consensus.
7. Magic (Sihr): It is kufr if it involves explicit disbelief, such as insulting the Qur'an. If it does not involve such, the majority of scholars consider it kufr.
8. Supporting disbelievers and aiding them against Muslims. This is kufr by consensus.
9. Believing that some people are allowed to deviate from the Sharia of Muhammad. This is kufr by consensus.
10. Turning away from the religion of Allah, neither learning it nor acting upon it. This is the kufr of turning away, and a consensus on this type of kufr has not been reported.
