(1) His statement: “Whoever calls a man a disbeliever…”: In Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar, it is said: The one who insults with “O disbeliever” is disciplined. If he believes a Muslim is a disbeliever, he becomes one; otherwise, not, and this is the fatwa. [Sharh Wahbaniyyah] If he responds with “Labbayk,” he becomes a disbeliever. [Khulasah]
