Does the following constitute kufr?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

When you actually do not deserve something and knowingly tell a lie that ‘I believe that I deserve this’, will this constitute kufr since I mention the words ‘I believe’. In actual I did not mean this.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If you did not deserve something, then your statement of deserving it was simply wrong. That does not mean it is kufr.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
