This is because there is no certainty that the individual actually ascribes to the heretical beliefs.\\n\\nIt is important to understand that there is a difference between talking about how the beliefs or acts of certain sects may constitute disbelief and actually declaring individuals as disbelievers. I am not saying that some Shi'a sects don't have heretical beliefs, but I am emphasizing that in order to declare someone a disbeliever, they must profess a belief or commit an act that unambiguously constitutes disbelief, according to a qualified mufti.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe50b76658b4c232867","tag":"Aqeedah: Sects and Religions","count":68}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:02.008Z"}
