Fatwa #134821 October 2000Pakistan

I thought Muslims aren't allowed to judge? In this site, it clearly says Imam Komeni was not a Muslim - why judge when Allah is the only one to judge?

Question

How can someone say that a shia is not muslim. Nobody except Allah (SWT) knows anyones intention when they are dying and when they will face their lord. (I am referring to Imam Komeni - you said that he was not a Muslim). Only Allah is to judge who is Muslim or not.

Answer

Almighty Allah Ta'ala Himself has given us the Shari'ah as a criteria to
determine the right from wrong. Therefore, we are obliged to judge according
to the criteria set out by Allah Himself.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
