4873. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'No one who commits Zinâ is a believer at the moment when he is committing Zinâ, and no one who drinks wine is a believer at the moment when he is drinking it, and no thief is a believer at the moment when he is stealing, and no killer is a believer at the moment he is killing.'"[1] (Sahîh)
4869 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ الْأَزْرَقُ، عَنْ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَزْنِي الْعَبْدُ حِينَ يَزْنِي، وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ حِينَ يَشْرَبُهَا، وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلَا يَسْرِقُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلَا يَقْتُلُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ»

'He does not remain a believer': The purpose is that this deed is the negation of Faith. Faith prevents one from indulging in it. Hence, the one who does this deed does not fulfill the demands of Faith. So to speak, he is not a believer. It does not mean that he becomes an unbeliever! This is because it is the accepted postulate or principle of the people of the Sunnah that a Muslim is not rendered a disbeliever due to his committing a sin, irrespective of it being a major.
