Taking sin lightly

Question

(#247)

Country: Turkey

Selamun Aleykum I have some questions about kufr and I hope you answer them. 1- İs it kufr to praise a sin by saying something like”good,nice,amazing,the best”? like if someone says this song is amazing or this is the best movie to a haram movie or “you are the best couple”. By saying that meaning it is enjoyable and fun but not meaning it is halal and believing it is haram and wrong. 2- İs it kufr to suggest a sin like saying “you should do it” to a sin. like if someone says “you should date this girl” or “you should listen to this song, its really good”. By saying that you mean it is fun and enjoyable and could be fun and enjoyabe for others too but you dont believe it is halal and believing it is haram and wrong . İs any of this kufr?

We have received your query regarding Kufr, our response is as follows:

Iman is a priceless treasure and one should be extremely careful in guarding it. To say any of the above mentioned statements is extremely dangerous for ones Iman and should be totally avoided. One should renew ones Shahadah and sincere Taubah should be made to never repeat such words again.[1]

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
