Kuffr that takes one outside Islam AND Kuffr duna Kuffr ?!?

[Answered by Shaykh ‘Ali al-Khudayr in as-Salafiyyeen forum] 

Question: Are there some actions of Kuffr which take the person out of the Millah and are there some which do not? Or are actions of Kuffr all classified as Kuffr duna Kuffr which do not remove the person from the Millah except if accompanied by a belief or Istihlaal or Juhood? 

Answer: Kuffr ‘amali (actions of Kuffr) are of two kinds:

First: From them is that which removes the person from the Millah. Such as Sujood to an idol and and sacrificing to other than Allah, tearing the Mushaf, allying with the Kuffaar and aiding them and giving them victory over the Muslimeen, legislating man-made laws, leaving the Salaah and the like. All these things are made Takfeer upon because of the action itself without having to look at the belief (of the person who does them). Also, from the actions of Kuffr are those connected to the tongue, like cursing Allah or His Messenger (as) or mocking the Deen or its clear symbols. This kind of speech is in itself Kuffr. Allah said: “…but really they said the word of disbelief, and they disbelieved after accepting Islam…"

Second: Actions of Kuffr which do not remove the person from the Millah. Like attributing oneself to other than his real father, tearing the clothes and slapping one’s cheeks when a misfortune strikes, having anal sex with one’s wife and other issues like this. This is like in the Hadith: “Two (things) are found among men which are tantamount to unbelief: slandering one’s lineage and lamentation on the dead.” And in another Hadith, “whoever attributes himself to other than his father has disbelieved.” 

As for the saying that all Kuffr ‘amali are Kuffr duna Kuffr except if accompanied with Juhood or Istihlaal then this is from the beliefs and speech of the Murjiah.

Question: What is the authenticity of the narration from ibn ‘Abbaas in which he said: "Kuffr duna Kuffr", as Shaykh al-Albani (rahimahUllah) said: “It is Saheeh” and that those who weakened it do not know how to authenticate narrations; even though Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen (rahimahUllah) considered it to be weak?

Answer: As for the wording: "Kuffr duna Kuffr" from ibn ‘Abbaas then it is not authentic. It was narrated in al-Hakim [2/313] and he authenticated it with adhl-Dhahabi agreeing, and it was narrated in al-Bayhaqi [8/20] but in its chain of narration there is Hisham ibn Hujayr and he is weak. He was declared weak by Ahmad, ibn Ma’in, and ibnul-Madini.

Rather, it is authentic from ‘Ata and a statement from ‘Ata only. It was narrated by al-Marawzi in his book “T’adhim Qadr as-Salaah” [2/5227], by ‘Abdur-Razzaq in his Tafseer [1/191] and it was narrated by ibn Jarir at-Tabari in his Tafseer and ibn Battah and other than them. What comes from ibn ‘Abbaas are words other than this.
