أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إلَيْكم When sufi shaykhs say kufri statements that have been refuted by the scholars, but their followers say that it is in metaphorical way or in poem and that they meant it in a different way. Is that a valid excuse and can you explain?

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

Applying takfeer to individuals is not iur burden there are courts, muftis, and authorities for that. We only point out the general ruling.
