Individual takfeer can be made in clear matters without returning back to the scholars
Questioner:
“When we see a person who claims he is upon Islam, ridiculing Allah, His Messenger or His Religion, or worships a grave, or prostrates for it or an idol, or declares adultery to be lawful, or denies the salaat (prayer); can we make individual takfeer (bi ‘aynihi) on him, we the small ones, without asking a scholar, or is it a must that a scholar judges him?”
Answer:
“No. Individual takfeer is made on this one. On this one, individual takfeer is made. He is a murtad (an apostate), and Allah’s refuge is sought! Who Ridicules Allah, the Messenger, or denies something which is known by necessity in the Religion; [audio not clear], we ask Allah for well-being, he is made takfeer of as an individual, because it is a clear and apparent matter, known by necessity in the religion.”
Questioner: “So it is not necessary that we ask a scholar about this?”
Shaykh: “Because it is a clear matter, no problem.”
Questioner: “HayakumAllah, oh our Shaykh.”

السائل : عندما نرى شخصاً مدعياً الإسلام يشتم الله أو رسوله أو دينه أو يعبد قبراً أو سجد له أو لصنم أو يحلل الزنا أو ينكر الصلاة ، هل يمكن أن نكفره على عينه نحن الصغار بغير أن نسأل عالماً أو لا بد أن يحكم عليه عالم؟
الشيخ الراجحي: لا،يكفر بعينه هذا ، هذا يكفر بعينه ، مرتد والعياذ بالله ، من سب الله أو سب الرسول أو أنكر ما هو معلوم من الدين بالضرورة ،(كلام غير واضح) نسال الله العافية هذا يكفر بعينه لأنها أمور ظاهرة واضحة معلوم من الدين بالضرورة.
السائل : يعني لا يحتاج إلى أن نسأل عالماً في ذلك؟
الشيخ الراجحي : لأن هذا أمر واضح لا إشكال فيه.
السائل : حياكم الله يا شيخنا
