Question:
Is applying the description of secularism to a specific man considered declaring him a disbeliever?
Answer:
Secularism is disbelief without a doubt. Secularism is disbelief without a doubt. Because its meaning is separating religion from the state. They say, "Religion is for Allah and the homeland is for everyone." And religion is only to be in the mosques and places of worship. As for judging between people and returning things to the Shari'ah, people are free in this. This is secularism. But it is not permissible for a person to accuse someone, saying, "You are a secularist, you are such and such," without verification and without knowledge. That is, the matter of accusations and throwing these things at people without verification, this is not permissible.
