❝However, and those who sit with me know this about me, I am always one of those who most emphatically forbid describing a specific person as a kafr, fasiq or sinner, unless it is known that shar’i proof has been established against him, and it has been proven whether he is a kafr, a fasiq or a sinner. I affirm that Allah has forgiven this ummah for its mistakes, which includes mistakes in narrative and practical issues. The salaf continued to debate many of these issues but none of them testified that anyone else was a kafr or a fasiq or a sinner.❞ — Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728h) in Majmu al-Fatawa, 3/229
