Question
Some time ago, a number of people died in Pakistan after drinking home-brewed wine. The chief minister of the State who is a Muslim commenting, said: "Those who had consumed the raw wine are 'ma'- soom' (innocent / sinless). They merely fulfilled their (desire) for pleasure on the occasion of Eid. We believe that they are also shaheed (martyrs). They are poor and sinless. To celebrate Eid they expressed some happiness." What is his status?
Answer
This shaitaan is a murtad. He can never be a Muslim. Parading as a Muslim he is in reality a munaafiq.
