The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The one who commits an illegal sexual intercourse is not a believer at the time of
committing illegal sexual intercourse and a thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft and a
drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of drinking. Yet, (the gate of) repentance is open
thereafter."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual
intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if
he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he
drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of
drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder,"
'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?"
He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them,
and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this, by
clasping his hands again.
