And Ibn Hazm, may Allah have mercy on him said, "And whoever from the people of<br />

Islam makes an interpretation and is mistaken, and if the Hujjah (evidence) has not been<br />

made for him and the truth not clarified to him, then he is excused for this and is<br />

rewarded with one reward due to him seeking the truth and going for it, and he is<br />

forgiven for his mistake as he did not intend it, based on the statement of Allah Almighty,<br />

‎7‎‏َلَ=ْسَ‏ عَلَ=ْكُمْ‏ جُنَا@ٌ‏ فِ=مَا ‏>َخْ‏ طَأْتُم ب‎8ِ‎‏ِ‏ ‎7‎‏َلَكِن ٰ م َّا تَعَم َّدَ*ْ‏ قُلُوبُكُمْ‏ ۚ<br />

"But there is no blame on you if you make a mistake therein: (what counts is) the<br />

intention of your hearts". (Surat al Ahzab 33:5)<br />

Until Ibn Hazm said, "And if he opposed the truth rejecting Allah Almighty and His<br />

Messenger then he is an apostate Kaafir whose blood and wealth has been<br />

permitted. There is no difference in this between the mistake in belief or in any other<br />

matter within the Shareeah and between the mistake in passing a verdict in any matter as<br />

we have clarified before". (Al Fasl Fil Milal Wa Nihal (4/24), and refer Al Fasl<br />

(4/25,105), Al Ihkaam (5/117,118)<br />

And Abul Ma'ali went towards (he was asked to agree on a matter regarding Takfeer)<br />

giving excuse, because a mistake in that is difficult, since including a Kaafir inside the<br />

Muslim community or excluding a Muslim out of it is a serious matter in the religion.<br />

Qadi Iyaad has mentioned that and then said, "The people other than them (i.e. other than<br />

Al Ash'ari and Al Juwayni) who have examined it have said that what is necessary is to<br />

have caution in Takfeer over the people of desires. Indeed permitting the blood of the<br />

monotheists is dangerous. And the mistake in leaving a thousand Kaafir is lighter than the<br />

mistake in spilling a cup of blood of a single Muslim. Indeed he has said, "If they<br />

say it, ie. the Shahadah (testimony), then they save from me their blood and their wealth<br />

except for its rights and their account will be by Allah". So protection has been<br />

guaranteed by the Shahadah and it does not go away and become permissible except by<br />

an undisputable evidence". From Sharh Shafaa by Qaadi Iyaad (2/500-501).<br />

And Ibn Taymiyyah may Allah have mercy on him said, "Indeed the one who makes<br />

interpretations aiming to follow the messenger , is not made Takfeer upon, nor is he<br />

called a Faasiq 18 , if he made an Ijtihad and fell into a mistake. And this is well known by<br />

the people regarding the issues related to actions. As for the issues related to beliefs, a lot<br />

of people have made Takfeer on the one who makes a mistake in them. And this<br />

statement is not known amongst any of the companions nor those following them with<br />

righteousness, nor from amongst any of the Imams of the Muslims. Indeed it is originally<br />

only from the statements of the people of Bida'a who innovate an innovation and make<br />
