سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَرْتَكِبُ الْكَبِيرَةَ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ فَيَمُوتُ هَلْ يُخْرِجُهُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ إِنْ عُذِّبَ كَانَ عَذَابُهُ كَعَذَابِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَمْ لَهُ مُدَّةٌ وَ انْقِطَاعٌ فَقَالَ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ كَبِيرَةً مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهَا حَلَالٌ أَخْرَجَهُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ عُذِّبَ أَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُعْتَرِفاً أَنَّهُ أَذْنَبَ وَ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ كَانَ عَذَابُهُ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْأَوَّلِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man committing the major sin from the major sins, and he dies. Would that exit him from Al-Islam? And if he was Punished, would his Punishment be like the Punishment of the Polytheists, or would there be a time limit for him and a cutting off?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who commits a major sin from the major sins, and he alleges that it is Permissible, that would exit him from Al Islam and he would be Punished with the severest of the Punishments; and if he was acknowledging that he is sinning, and he dies upon it, that would exit him from the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> and it would not exit him from Al-Islam, and his Punishment would be lesser than the Punishment of the first one’.
