13. Takfeer on the one who dies upon a sin which he did not repent from.<br />
14. Mixing during Takfeer and not distinguishing between that which is the fundamental<br />
of Imaan (Asl ul Imaan) 41 or the nullifier of it (Nawaaqid ul Imaan ) 42 and that which is<br />
from the Imaan which is necessary (Imaan ul Waajib) 43 or that which is recommended<br />
(Imaan ul Musthahabb). 44<br />
Five important points:<br />
1. That Takfeer is only over a branch of apparent Aslul Imaan (basic essential Imaan as<br />
judged from the outside) 45 .<br />
2. Many of the warnings of punishment imply either a nullifier of the basic Imaan or a<br />
nullifier with regards to the Waajib (obligatory) Imaan. And it is necessary to examine<br />
this. 46<br />
3. What the scholars mean by the statement that “It negates the completeness of Imaan”<br />
in many cases means that which negates the completeness of the Wajib (obligatory)<br />
Imaan, not that which is Mustahab (recommended).<br />
4. The condition of Istihlaal (saying something is halal) is not stipulated for the nullifiers<br />
of the Asl (basic) Imaan during Takfeer, but rather (the condition of Istihlaal is) only for<br />
sins that negate the Waajib (obligatory) Imaan.<br />
