When can you do takfeer (ex-communication) on a Muslim?
1 Answer
As a general rule of Shari'a one has to differentiate between kufr types: نوع and the actual تعيين to place the hukm ruling of takfeer on a particular Muslim individual. An individual ruling of takfeer on a person needs to have رفع الموانع and إقامة الحجة The lifting of hindrances and the establishment of hujja. Some of the known hindrances to a ruling of kufr being placed on an individual are الخطأ النسيان التؤيل الجهل i.e., a kufr action out of ignorance, mistake, false interpretation, forgetfulness - all those are hindrances that block the ruling of kufr upon an individual. So when they are lifted and the conditions established then and only then can a hukm of an individual being kafir be made.
