Meeting the Conditions on preventing Takfeer?!?

https://islamforhumanity.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/takfir.jpg


Question: What do you think about the one who says that it is a must to look at whether the conditions have been met and the preventions of Takfeer have being removed regarding the one who has committed Kuffr, such as Shirk or sihr, or mocking and similar to that from the Nawaqid (nullifiers), until we can individually rule upon him with Kuffr?

Answer: This is not correct, because looking into the conditions, and similar to that, is within the matters which become unclear, as for the matters of Usool (foundations) that you mentioned in the question, Shirk, Sihr and mocking and similar to that, then the person who does that disbelieves with no dignity, except in the case of Ikrah. And the Fundamental Principle and Criterion is: “Every person who has fulfilled what negates his submission to Allah, then he is a Kaafir, except for the Mukrah (one in Ikrah)”. So make your judgement based upon this Criterion in all scenarios, as we know that submission to Allah is nullified by two things: 

١. That he submits to Allah and to other than Allah, and this is Shirk. 
٢. That he does not submit to Allah, and this is denial, arrogance and similar to that. 

Regardless whether this negator was in 1 issue or more, for example:

ا) Whoever worships other than Allah because he was ignorant: Shirk is established upon him. 

ب) Whoever legalizes alcohol because he was ignorant, and he is someone who is truly ignorant: No nullifier is established upon him. 

ج) Whoever legalizes alcohol and he is someone who isn’t truly ignorant: Denial and rejection (of the text) is established upon him. 

د) Whoever interprets Tawheed or the matters pertaining to al-Walaa wal-Baraa: Denial and rejection (of the text) is established upon him. 

ه) Whoever interprets some of the Attributes of Allah such as the Istiwaa (Allah being above the ‘Arsh), and Qadr, because of a misconception (he didn’t deny or reject the text): No negater of Islām is established upon him. 

And likewise with the rest of the scenarios, and Allah knows best.
