The Shaykh :"And on this basis, it is obligatory before ruling, meaning before ruling with takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) or declaring someone an open sinner, to look into two matters:
The first of them: the indication of the Book or the Sunnah that this statement or action is a cause for disbelief or open sinfulness".
Is this the first or the second? Is this the first or the second consideration? The first or the second? Yes, the first. We must know that this action or omission, or this statement or omission, is disbelief. This is the first thing, so we investigate. Then, if we find that the term "disbelief" is used in it, we look a second time: is it the disbelief that expels one from the religion, or is it a disbelief less than disbelief? So, the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the womenSahih Ibn Hibban 13:115 Do we say that the intended meaning of "disbelief" here is the disbelief that expels one from the religion? No. Also, Does it expel one from the religion? No, because Allah called the fighters brothers. So we also look: is this disbelief one that expels one from the religion or not?
If someone says: "You have just mentioned the indication that something is a cause for disbelief or open sinfulness, but you did not mention that we should look into whether the disbelief is major shirk (major shirk) and the open sinfulness is major open sinfulness or not?" We say: This is our intended meaning, even if we did not state it explicitly. Our intended meaning is major shirk and major open sinfulness.

You are many to curse and to disbelieve your husbands
إنكن تكثرن اللعن وتكفرن العشيرCursing a Muslim is open sinfulness, and fighting him is disbelief
