Question
Is it kufr to make takfeer of H a d h r a t A b u B a k r (Radhiyallahu anhu) and Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu)? Some Ulama say that it is not kufr. It is fisq.
Answer
A person who makes takfeer o f H a d h r a t A b u B a k r (Radhiyallahu anhu) and Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) is a akfarul kaafireen. He is among the worst of the kuffaar. He loses his Imaan and becomes a murtad/ kaafir. Such a person cannot be a Muslim. The Imaan of these very senior Sahaabah is established by absolute Shar'i dalaa-il, rejection of which is kufr. The very authenticity of the Qur'aan Majeed is reliant on their compilation. The view of some Ulama is erroneous.
