Its root in the classical dictionaries
فسق فلان: خرج عن حجر الشرع، وذلك من قولهم: فسق الرطب، إذا خرج عن قشره ، وهو أعم من الكفر. والفسق يقع بالقليل من الذنوب وبالكثير، لكن تعورف فيما كان كثيرا، وأكثر ما يقال الفاسق لمن التزم حكم الشرع وأقر به، ثم أخل بجميع أحكامه أو ببعضه، وإذا قيل للكافر الأصلي: فاسق، فلأنه أخل بحكم ما ألزمه العقل واقتضته الفطرة، قال الله…
قوله تعالى: ﴿ففسق عن أمر ربه﴾] الكهف:50 [أي خرج. والفسق: الخروج، يقال: فسقت الرطبة: إذا خرجت من قشرها. والفسق الشرعي: عبارة عن الخروج عن والطاعة وهي امتثال الأوامر واجتناب النواهي. قال الراغب: الفسق أعم من الكفر ويقع بالقليل من الذنوب والكثير، لكن تعورف فيما كان كبيرة، قال: وأكثر ما يقال الفاسق لمن التزم حكم الشرع…
And to Lūt, too,
We gave Judgment and Knowledge,
And We saved him
From the town which practised
Abominations: truly they were
A people given to Evil,
A rebellious people.
And those who launch
A charge against chaste women,
And produce not four witnesses
(To support their allegations),—
Flog them with eighty stripes;
And reject their evidence
Ever after: for such men
Are wicked transgressors;—
God has promised, to those
Among you who believe
And work righteous deeds, that He
Will, of a surety, grant them
In the land, inheritance
(Of power), as He granted it
To those before them; that
He will establish in authority
Their religion—the one
Which He has chosen for them;
And that He will change
(Their state), after the fear
In which they (lived), to one
Of security and peace:
'They will worship Me (alone)
And not associate aught with Me.'
If any do reject Faith
After this, they are
Rebellious and wicked.
"Now put thy hand into
Thy bosom, and it will
Come forth white without stain
(Or harm): (these are) among
The nine Signs (thou wilt take)
To Pharaoh and his people:
For they are a people
Rebellious in transgression."
"Move thy hand into
Thy bosom, and it will
Come forth white without stain
(Or harm), and draw thy hand
Close to thy side
(To guard) against fear.
Those are the two credentials
From thy Lord to Pharaoh
And his Chiefs: for truly
They are a people
Rebellious and wicked."
Therefore patiently persevere,
As did (all) apostles
Of inflexible purpose;
And be in no haste
About the (Unbelievers). On the Day
That they see the (Punishment)
Promised them, (it will be)
As if they had not
Tarried more than an hour
In a single day. (Thine
But) to proclaim the Message:
But shall any be destroyed
Except those who transgress?
O ye who believe!
If a wicked person comes
To you with any news,
Ascertain the truth, lest
Ye harm people unwittingly,
And afterwards become
Full of repentance for
What ye have done.
Has not the time arrived
For the Believers that
Their hearts in all humility
Should engage in the remembrance
Of God and of the Truth
Which has been revealed (to them),
And that they should not
Become like those to whom
Was given Revelation aforetime,
But long ages passed over them
And their hearts grew hard?
For many among them
Are rebellious transgressors.
And We sent Noah
And Abraham, and established
In their line Prophethood
And Revelation: and some of them!
Were on right guidance,
But many of them
Became rebellious transgressors.
Then, in their wake,
We followed them up
With (others of) Our apostles:
We sent after them
Jesus the son of Mary,
And bestowed on him
The Gospel; and We ordained
In the hearts of those
Who followed him
Compassion and Mercy.
But the Monasticism
Which they invented
For themselves, We did not
Prescribe for them:
(We commanded) only
The seeking for the Good
Pleasure of God; but that
They did not foster
As they should have done.
Yet We bestowed, on those
Among them who believed,
Their (due) reward, but
Many of them are
Rebellious transgressors.
Whether ye cut down
(O ye Muslims!)
The tender palm-trees,
Or ye left them standing
On their roots, it was
By leave of God, and
In order that He might
Cover with shame
The rebellious transgressors.
And remember, Moses said
To his people: "O my people!
Why do ye vex and insult
Me, though ye know
That I am the apostle
Of God (sent) to you?"
Then when they went wrong,
God let their hearts go wrong.
For God guides not those
Who are rebellious transgressors.
