Takfir is a word that says that another person who calls himself a Muslim is actually not a Muslim.[1][2][3] The word is not mentioned in the hadith or Qur'an but is based of the words kufr (unbelief) and kafir (unbeliever) and other similar terms.[4] Since under Sharia, the punishment for leaving Islam is death,[5] and a possible cause of argument and violence within the Muslims,[6] as a false takfir is considered as minor shirk.[7] Normally, only scholars of Islam can make takfir excluding groups such as the Khawarji who takfir both followers of Sunnism and Shi'ism.[8][9]
