their Islam, except those of them whose reality is known. Likewise, whoever knows that some of these groups do not have any legitimate preventive, then it is not allowed for him to hesitate in making Takfeer on their individuals. And the issue of whether or not to make Takfeer on the individuals of these groups, is dependent upon knowing if there exists or not that which would prevent Takfeer on them. And this is the issue in which there are different opinions and various interpretations. And based on this, it becomes clear that this issue which is based on Ijtihad is not deserving of forming battalions of opposition, and for disputing and for being divided. How can it be so, when the refraining groups which are upon Kufr have always been appearing since a long time and scholars have not stopped having differences of opinion regarding Takfeer on them.

Rather even their Shareeah official, Turki Al Bin'ali said that it is permitted and acceptable to have differences in the issues of Ijma'!! And he says in his Fatwa in (the website) "Minbar" on the issue of Takfeer on the individuals of the abstaining groups- "Yes, the ruling upon the individual soldiers and police men is an issue that has difference of opinion".

Sheikh Abdul Hakeem Hassaan, one of the members of the Shareeah committee of Al Qaida in Khurasan, said in a research carried out regarding the Kufr of the armies - "As for the stance towards
