مَوَانِعُ تَكْفِيرِ الْمُعَيَّنِ

Impediments to declaring a specific individual a disbeliever.

فَأَجَابَ: «يُعَلَّمُ أَنَّهُ شِرْكٌ أَكْبَرُ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: هَذَا شِرْكٌ أَكْبَرُ وَعَلَيْكَ التَّوْبَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ، مِثْلَ مَا كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَطُوفُونَ بِالْقُبُورِ وَنَصَبُوا عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ صَنَمًا، وَأَرْشَدَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَالَّذِي أَجَابَ وَهَدَاهُ اللَّهُ فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَالَّذِي مَا أَجَابَ مُشْرِكٌ، وَأَغْلَبُهُمْ جُهَّالٌ، خَرَجُوا إِلَى بَدْرٍ جُهَّالًا، وَإِلَى أُحُدٍ جُهَّالًا، تَابَعُوا رُؤَسَاءَهُمْ، قَالَ اللَّهُ – جَلَّ وَعَلَا -: ﴿أَتَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا﴾ [(٤٤) سُورَةُ الْفُرْقَانِ] وَمَعَ هَذَا حَكَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ

He replied: 'He is to be taught that it is major shirk until he repents; it is said to him: This is major shirk and you must repent to Allah, just as the polytheists used to circumambulate graves and set up three hundred and sixty idols at the Kaaba, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) guided them. So, whoever responds and Allah guides him, then praise be to Allah, and whoever does not respond is a polytheist. Most of them were ignorant; they went out to Badr in ignorance, and to Uhud in ignorance, following their leaders. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, said: "Do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like livestock; nay, they are even further astray in path" [Surah Al-Furqan: 44], and despite this, He judged them to be disbelievers (1).'

وَسُئِلَ: قِيلَ لَهُ: الْجَاهِلُ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ أَنَّ الذَّبْحَ عِبَادَةٌ وَيَذْبَحُ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ؟

He was asked: It was said to him: What about the ignorant person who does not know that slaughtering is an act of worship and slaughters for other than Allah?
