The issue of 'Performing Takfir' has become a hot research area during present times, It's a very sensitive topic. The Islamic Sharia has ordained one to be very cautious on declaring Takfir upon a nominated individual, only the people who are firmly established in knowledge can declare takfir on a nominated person, which will be based on the principles of Islam.
When Islam emphasis this much high level of caution in performing Tafir upon an individual person, then how critical will it be to declare takfir on state's, leaders and the communities.This is the reason one can find chapters written in the Islamic jurisprudence books (fiqhi books)on the subject of Dar-ul-Islam (land of Islam) and Dar-ul-Kufr (land of disbelief).
In this article the topic of takfir has been discussed thoroughly and the position has been made clear about when a islamic state or a community turns in to a Dar-ul-Kufr (land of disbelief).In the following knowledge based article the topic has been fully explained in detail by using the works and opinions of Islamic Jurists (experts in islamic law) and the most predominant view of this issue has been covered.
