If such and such happened I would be driven to kufr
I will become a kaafir
Honestly, I am close to becoming a kaafir
I would become a kaafir if there was another Lord to believe in
This is a rubbish life
Thank you for your time. Jazakallah.
AnswerBismillahir Rahmaanir RaheemRespected brother/sister
The above statements do not constitute kufr(disbelief) as they are not clear renouncement of faith. They may show some turbulence in one’s conviction which need to be addressed.
If you are having these feelings, then you are in need of counselling and good company, not a fatwa. I recommend you visit the scholars(Ulama) of your locality.
In any case, the general principle is, as Imam Tahawi(May Allah be pleased with him) says in ‘Article 79 in his monumental book ‘AL-Aqeedah-AL-Tahawiyyah:
‘وَلا يَخْرُجُ العَبْدُ مِنَ الإِيمانِ إِلاَّ بِجُحودِ ما أَدْخَلَهُ فيهِ”
Translation: A believer does not lose faith except by denying that which made him a believer
It does not seem to me that any of these statements reflect this.

Note from Ulamaa ID 12 – added on 21/01/2013 @ 11:57am:I’m assuming some kind of condition was included in the statement “I will become a kaafir” is not kufr based on the context of the other statements.

These types of questions are a bit strange. I usually want to know who the question is from. If it is from someone who is having these feelings, then such a person needs counselling and good company, not a fatwa. If it is someone else who had heard these words from another person, they need to be advised as to how they are to treat this person as opposed to giving a fatwa.
