El Padrino, you committed takfir against me for advising you to follow the sunnah, astaghfirAllah. I heard the Messenger of Allah say: Whoever bears testimony against a Muslim of which the latter is not deserving, let him prepare for himself a seat in the Hell fire. [Imam Ibn Asakir in Tibyan al Kadhib al Muftari, Page No. 373] Imam Abu Hatim bin Hibban, in Rawdatul-`Uqalaa said, “It is obligatory upon the intelligent to adhere resolutely to silence until he must speak. Frequently will the one who speaks regret it later on. Rare will it be that the one who remains silent has a cause to regret! The people who will have the most misery and greatest misfortune are those with unrestrained tongues and encased hearts.” Ibn Umar related that the Holy Prophet said: If a Muslim calls another kafir, then if he is a kafir let it be so; otherwise, he [the caller] is himself a kafir. (Abu Dawud, Book of Sunna, edition published by Quran Mahal, Karachi, vol. iii, p. 484) Abu Zarr reported that the Holy Prophet said: No man accuses another man of being a sinner, or of being a kafir, but it reflects back on him if the other is not as he called him. (Bukhari, Book of Ethics; Book 78, ch. 44) Withhold [your tongues] from those who say `There is no god but Allah --- do not call them kafir. Whoever calls a reciter of `There is no god but Allah as a kafir, is nearer to being a kafir himself. (Tabarani, reported from Ibn Umar) Three things are the basis of faith. [One is] to withhold from one who says `There is no god but Allah --- do not call him kafir for any sin, nor expel him from Islam for any misconduct. (Abu Dawud, Book of Jihad, 15:33) Whoever attributes kufr to a believer, he is like his murderer. (Bukhari, Book of Ethics; Book 78, ch. 44) even in classical fiqh it is seen as a grave sin and error And among the doctrines of the Ahl as-Sunna is that none of the people of the Qibla can be called kafir. (Sharh `Aqaid Nasfi, p. 121) Allama Sayyid Jalal-ud-Din wrote: The takfir of people of the Qibla is itself an act of unbelief. (Dalail al-Masail)
