EPISODE 4- THE SECOND FOUNDATION
Among the beliefs of As-salaf As-Saalih is their statement that ‘faith is a statement with the tongue, action with the limbs and belief in the heart’. They believe that Faith increases with obedience to Allāh (ﷻ) and decreases with disobedience i.e sins. They believe that Faith cannot be complete without action, that statements and actions are not complete without intentions, and that statements, actions and intentions are not accepted unless they agree with the Sunnah.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
Faith has over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allaah, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the path: and modesty is the branch of faith.
(Sahih Muslim:Book 1, Hadith 60)

THE THIRD FOUNDATION
➖
They do not declare anyone of the Muslims a disbeliever due to a sin, even if it is a major sin, unless he rejects something that is well-known by necessity from the religion. They do not rule that the person who commits such a sin is a disbeliever. They only judge such people as sinful transgressors and those who have deficient Faith. If a person dies upon such a sin, his matter is left to Allāh (ﷻ). If He wills He will punish him and if He wills He will forgive him.
According to them, disbelief is of two types:
Major disbelief (Kufr Akbar) that expels one from the religion of Islam, and minor disbelief (Kufr Asghar) that does not expel one from the religion of Islam.
They do not allow declaring a Muslim to be a disbeliever due to a statement or action, as long as there is no legislative proof that proves his disbelief. They do not declare specific individuals as disbelievers unless the conditions for doing so have been met and all restrictions for doing so have been removed.
