Can certain impermissible actions take a person out of the fold of Islam
Question
Is there any action which can take a person out of the fold of Islam or it is only wrong beliefs that take a person out of the fold of Islam?
Answer
Some actions which are regarded as symbols of kufr can also take a person out of the fold of Islam e.g. wearing the cross.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
