Mullah Ali Al-Qari said: “Our scholars have said: If there are ninety-nine faces pointing to the takfir of a Muslim, and one to keep him in Islam, then the mufti and the judge should do so. This is indicated from the Prophet’s words “Avert the legal penalties from the Muslims as much as possible, if he has a way out then leave him to his way, for if the Imam makes a mistake in forgiving it would be better than making mistake in punishment.” (Sharh al-Shifa, 2/250)
