عَدَدُ نَوَاقِضِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَحُكْمُ تَعَلُّمِهَا.

The number of things that nullify Islam and the ruling on studying them.

«نَوَاقِضُ الْإِسْلَامِ كَثِيرَةٌ،

The things that nullify Islam are numerous.

فَالْوَاجِبُ مُرَاجَعَةُ بَابِ حُكْمِ الْمُرْتَدِّ،

It is necessary to review the chapter on the laws regarding apostasy.

تَبْلُغُ الْمِئَاتِ

They number in the hundreds.

أَبْلَغَهَا الْهَيْتَمِيُّ إِلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ نَاقِضٍ،

Al-Haytami identified as many as four hundred.

الْمَقْصُودُ أَنَّهَا كَثِيرَةٌ،

The point is that they are many.

وَالْعَشَرَةُ الَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا الشَّيْخُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَخْطَرِهَا، وَأَكْثَرِهَا وُقُوعًا».

The ten mentioned by Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhab—may Allah have mercy on him—are among the most dangerous and the most common.

«التَّكْفِيرُ لَا يُطْلَقُ إِلَّا عَنْ بَيَانٍ

Declaring someone an unbeliever requires clear evidence.

لَابُدَّ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ حَقِيقَةَ الْمُكَفَّرِ وَأَعْمَالَهُ وَأَقْوَالَهُ حَتَّى تَبِينَ أَسْبَابُ كُفْرِهِ،

One must understand the true nature of the individual, their actions, and their words to establish the grounds for such a judgment.

لَابُدَّ أَنْ يُكَفَّرَ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ،

Such a declaration must be made with clear insight.

فَقَدْ كَتَبَ الْعُلَمَاءُ فِي كُتُبِهِمْ بَابًا أَسْمَوْهُ بَابَ حُكْمِ الْمُرْتَدِّ،

Scholars have dedicated a specific chapter in their books to the laws of apostasy.

فَيَجِبُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مُرَاجَعَتُهُ حَتَّى تُعْرَفَ نَوَاقِضُ الْإِسْلَامِ».

It is incumbent upon the learned to study this so that the nullifiers of Islam are clearly understood.

«وَهَذِهِ الْأُمُورُ قَدْ أَوْضَحَهَا الْعُلَمَاءُ فِي بَابِ حُكْمِ الْمُرْتَدِّ،

Scholars have clarified these matters within that chapter.

فَفِي كُلِّ مَذْهَبٍ مِنَ الْمَذَاهِبِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ ذَكَرُوا بَابًا سَمَّوْهُ بَابَ حُكْمِ الْمُرْتَدِّ

Each of the four schools of jurisprudence includes a chapter on the laws of apostasy.

أَوْضَحُوا فِيهِ جَمِيعَ أَنْوَاعِ الْكُفْرِ وَالضَّلَالِ،

They used it to define all forms of disbelief and misguidance.

وَهُوَ بَابٌ جَدِيرٌ بِالْعِنَايَةِ،

This chapter is worthy of serious attention.

وَلَا سِيَّمَا فِي هَذَا الْعَصْرِ الَّذِي كَثُرَتْ فِيهِ أَنْوَاعُ الرِّدَّةِ وَالْتَبَسَ الْأَمْرُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ،

This is especially true in our time, as forms of apostasy have multiplied and many people have become confused.

فَمَنْ عَنِيَ بِهِ حَقَّ الْعِنَايَةِ عَرَفَ نَوَاقِضَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَسْبَابَ الرِّدَّةِ وَأَنْوَاعَ الْكُفْرِ وَالضَّلَالِ».

Whoever studies it thoroughly will recognize the nullifiers of Islam, the causes of apostasy, and the various forms of disbelief and misguidance.

لَكِنْ إِذَا عَرَفَهُ الْمُسْلِمُ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ نَوَاقِضَهُ،

Once a Muslim understands the faith, they are obligated to learn what nullifies it.

فَإِذَا كَانَ نَوَاقِضُ الْوُضُوءِ ثَمَانِيَةً، فَالَّذِي ذُكِرَ فِي الْإِقْنَاعِ أَنَّ نَوَاقِضَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ.

Just as there are eight things that invalidate ablution, the text Al-Iqna' notes that there are over four hundred things that invalidate Islam.
