Islam forbids Muslims from declaring others non-believers, known as takfir, without backing from the Qur’an because this causes unnecessary bloodshed, the Council of Senior Scholars said in a statement on Thursday.
Countries in the region have taken action against certain groups involved in this behavior because they are spilling the blood of innocents and destabilizing the region, said the council.
The Kingdom, having come under attack from these violent extremists, has rightly called on the international community to act against them, the council stated.
The council said it had issued various statements over the years condemning these actions in the Arab and Islamic world. Determining and defining non-permissible Islamic behavior should be based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him, the council stated.
