Question:
He asks and says: What is the ruling on one who does not declare the disbelievers to be disbelievers? Please guide me on this issue, may Allah grant you success?
Answer:
One who does not declare the disbelievers to be disbelievers becomes like them; he becomes a disbeliever like them, because he agreed with them in what they are upon of disbelief, and he considered it not to be disbelief. But this applies to one who knows and understands what disbelief is. As for the ignorant person who does not know what disbelief is, it is not permissible for him to declare people to be disbelievers without knowledge. Yes.
