Is Takfeer for everyone including the Beginners among the Students of Knowledge, or is it confined to the Senior Scholars alone?

One of the Shaykh's students says: 

“May Allāh be good to You Your Eminence. This questioner asks: “Is takfeer (labelling someone as a disbeliever) a ruling for everyone including the minor students of knowledge...”

Shaykh: “What? Yes?”

The student: “He says, may Allah protect You: “Is takfeer a ruling for everyone, including the minor students of knowledge or is it restricted to the senior/major people of knowledge, and judges?”

Shaykh: “From whomsoever Shirk is apparent, he slaughters for other than Allah, or makes vows to other than Allah, it is clearly apparent, he slaughters for other than Allah, makes vows for other than Allah, seeks deliverance (Istighaathah) from other than Allah from the dead, he supplicates to the dead; this one's Shirk is apparent. This one’s shirk (polytheism) is apparent. Thus whosoever hears him, rules on his kufr and shirk (disbelief and polytheism). 

As for the complex (hidden) affairs (Umoor (Masaail) Khafiyyah), the complex (hidden) affairs which are in need of knowledge and insight, these issues have to be entrusted to the people of knowledge. They have to be entrusted to the people of knowledge. Yes.”

Shaykh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him

السؤال: أحسن الله إليكم صاحب الفضيلة هذا سائل يقول : هل التكفير حكم لكل أحد من صغار طلاب العلم أم أنه خاص بأهل العلم الكبار و القضاة؟

الشيخ الفوزان : من يظهر منه الشرك : يذبح لغير الله أو ينذر لغير الله ، يظهر ظهوراً واضحاً ، يذبح لغير الله ، ينذر لغير الله ، يستغيث بغير الله من الأموات ، يدعو الأموات ، هذا شركه ظاهر ، هذا شركه ظاهر ، فمن سمعه يحكم بكفره و شركه ، أما الأمور الخفية التي تحتاج إلى علم و إلى بصيرة هذه تُوكل إلى أهل العلم ، تُوكل إلى أهل العلم. نعم
