Can we make Takfeer of Muslims who commit Major Shirk and Kufr?

[Yusuf.McNulty.al.Irlandee]

Question: Is it only for the 'Ulamaa to make Takfeer of the ones who commit Major Shirk and the ones who curse Allaah?

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan: If you yourself hear evil then you reject it, (you say) 'This is not permissible, this speech is Haraam for you to use', you advise this person with what you know. As for applying the ruling (of Kufr) upon this individual, then this is for the 'Ulamaa.
