Question
I said to my family that 'Muslim' bollywood film actors and actresses are not Muslims, and that actually they are devils who are Muslim by name. My primary reason for this claim is that they perform Hindu rituals in their film roles. Family members are annoyed with me. They say that I have no right to judge these actors and actresses. Did I err in saying they are kaafirs and devils? I am prepared to repent.
Answer
Insha'Allah, you shall acquire great and abundant thawaab for having proclaimed the truth regarding these vile, immoral munaafiqeen and murtaddeen who masquerade as Muslims. Undoubtedly, the film actors and actresses are shayaateen. They are murtads for performing the Hindu rituals. Even if they perform these rituals by pretence or joke, then too they become kaafir.
Your family members are plodding the path of deviation, and they have scant regard for the Deen and for Allah's Laws, hence they are annoyed with you. It is not a case of judging. It is a case of saying that a pig is a pig. If a pig is called a pig, one is not judging the pig. If Allah's Law says that one who indulges in rituals of shirk is a kaafir, then by proclaiming that person a kaafir, one is not judging him. One is merely echoing Allah's command.
There is no need to make Taubah for having proclaimed the Haqq. Your family members have to make Taubah for having spoken in opposition to the Shariah by siding with murtads. Their Imaan dangles by a thread.
