The Chasam Sofer (Shu"t
Y.D. 356) writes:
" Re the debate of how
many Ikrim we have (13 Rambam or 3 Ri Elbo
etc.) I don't see what difference it makes.
The Mekubalim claim there are
no such things as Ikrim. Every dot in
the Torah is an Ikar.---
It is impossible for me to
believe that one of the fundamentals in
Judaism is to believe in the Geulah (Mashiach).---
It is not an Ikar or
foundation to build on.
The Ikar is to believe all
that is written in the Torah or the Nevi'im.
There it is written about the Geulah in
Parshas Nitzavim* and Ha'azinu the way the
Ramban explains.
Anyone disputing the Geulah is
a Kofer."
"ועכ"פ הגאולה וביאת המשיח איננה עיקר
אבל מי שאינו מודה בו כופר בעיקר של האמנת התורה ודברי
נביאים" Ramban Devarim 30:2
נביאים"
