The scholars
unanimously agreed that the act of judging with other than what Allaah has revealed and believing that it is something permissible and not prohibited is a major
disbelief based on two reasons:
First reason: Ahlus-Sunnah unanimously agreed that one who legalizes something
among the prohibited matters is a disbeliever. Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy
on him) said: “Whoever indulges in prohibited matters believing that it is
lawful is a disbeliever according to the consensus of the scholars.[1]
Second reason: There is consensus among Ahlus-Sunnah that whoever considers it
permissible to judge with other than what Allaah has revealed is a
disbeliever. Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah
have mercy on him) said: “Whenever a person legalizes the unlawful that is
unanimously agreed upon or prohibits the lawful that is unanimously agreed upon
or changes a law that is unanimously agreed upon, he becomes a disbeliever,
apostate according to the consensus of the jurists.”[2]
