The ruling on declaring a disbeliever (takfir) one who commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and one who insults Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a question from the website asking: Is declaring a disbeliever (takfir) one who commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and one who insults Allah reserved for scholars?

Answer:
No. If you hear this wrong, you must oppose it. You say, “This is not permissible,” and there is no blame on you for saying this. You advise him with what you know, advising him with what you know. As for applying the ruling to him, that is the domain of the scholars.
