They said: (Whoever does not disbelieve in Taghut has not achieved disbelief in it, even if he disavows his actions, hates them, and denies them). To refute this doubt, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of disbelief in Taghut. Its meaning is: disavowal of what Taghut is upon of disbelief, along with hating it, denying it, and avoiding its worship. This is a pillar of Tawhid, and it is from the foundation of religion. A person's Islam is not valid without it, as it is an innate matter. As for declaring Taghut as disbeliever: its meaning is to attribute the description of disbelief to Taghut, which results in complete disavowal of it, and the non-application of Muslim rulings to him in his life or upon his death. His marriage contract is dissolved if his wife is Muslim, his guardianship over his children is removed, he is not washed, not shrouded, not prayed over, not buried in Muslim cemeteries, and not prayed for forgiveness. He is judged to enter the Hereafter in the company of the disbelievers, eternally in Hellfire if he dies upon this disbelief. As we see, all these matters are informative and not innate; they are only known through religious texts, which some Muslims may be ignorant of in some cases of disbelief. Therefore, declaring someone a disbeliever is not part of the meanings of disbelief in Taghut, even if it is one of its obligations that God has commanded us, but it is not from the foundation of religion, and one may be excused for ignorance in some cases. The evidence that disbelief in something does not include declaring it as disbelief is the saying of the Messenger, peace be upon him: "Whoever says there is no god but Allah, and disbelieves in what is worshipped besides Allah, his wealth and blood are forbidden, and his reckoning is with Allah." (Narrated by Muslim).
