Praise be to Allah.
Practical acts of kufr put one beyond the pale of Islam, such as prostrating to anyone other than Allaah or offering a sacrifice to anyone other than Allaah. This is a practical act of kufr that puts one beyond the pale of Islam. The one who slaughters a sacrifice to an idol or a star or the jinn has committed a practical act of major kufr. Similarly if he prays to them or prostrates to them, he has committed a practical act of major kufr. Similarly, if he reviles Islam or reviles the Messenger or mocks Allaah or the Messenger, this is a practical act of major kufr, according to all Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah. End quote.
