Question:
Or, Shaykh, is it permissible for me to declare a specific person a disbeliever if he does something that takes him out of the circle of Islam, such as uttering a word or doing an act that constitutes disbelief, and he is aware of it?
Answer:
Yes, if you are certain that he utters a word of disbelief or intentionally abandons the prayer, then you consider him a disbeliever and treat him as a disbeliever until he repents to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Declaring a specific person a disbeliever: if he commits one of the nullifiers of Islam, he is declared a disbeliever by it.
