Description: To judge a word or an act as being disbelief is to state the general legal judgment, but to affirm that a specific person having pronounced or practiced an impiety which excludes from religion, (for example denying a fundamental point of the religion, insulting Allah or insulting Islam), is indeed disbelieving, it is necessary to be fully informed of the position of this person on these points, by seeking to know if all the conditions required for takfîr are met or not, and if all possible obstacles to such a sentence are really absent. If therefore all the conditions necessary to qualify her as a disbeliever are verified at home and there is no legal obstacle to this procedure, then she is deemed a disbeliever. On the other hand, if at least one of the required conditions is missing or if there is even a hindrance, it cannot be called a disbeliever.
