Is it permissible to declare a disbeliever (kafir) the one who denies the hadiths of intercession (shafa'ah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to declare a disbeliever (kafir) the one who denies the hadiths of intercession (shafa'ah)?

Answer:
And that he is misguided; we say he is misguided. If he knows that they are the truth and that they are established, but he denies them, he commits disbelief (kufr) by that. But if he thinks they are not established, or he interprets them (ta'wil) in a way he thinks is acceptable, then he is considered misguided, but not a disbeliever. Yes.
