Can certain impermissible actions take a person out of the fold of Islam

Q: Is there any action which can take a person out of the fold of Islam or it is only wrong beliefs that take a person out of the fold of Islam?

A: Some actions which are regarded as symbols of kufr can also take a person out of the fold of Islam e.g. wearing the cross.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

يكفر بوضع قلنسوة المجوس على رأسه على الصحيح إلا لضرورة دفع الحر والبرد وبشد الزنار في وسطه إلا إذا فعل ذلك خديعة في الحرب وطليعة للمسلمين (الفتاوى الهندية 2/ 376)
