I want to ask that from many days im having problems i am MashahALLAH a Muslim girl and during prayers im having very deviating thoughts like i was reciting SURAT IQHLAS and i got a kufriya thought in mind i asked for forgiveness from ALLAH and i said toba ashtagfar and kalma again and again i want to ask that if these kufriya beliefs come in ones heart does they make a person kafir my intention ws not to think anything like that but such kufriya thing came in my heart does it effect my iman does i have to renew my nikah.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 1825/1552=B/1429)
A Muslim does not become kafir (infidel) if irreligious imaginations or fancies come to his mind. However, when he utters clear and open words of kufr (infidelity) by mouth, then only he will be labelled as infidel.
Allah knows Best!
