excommunication in islam

Excommunication in Islam refers to the act of formally excluding an individual from the Muslim community, effectively cutting off their connection with the broader Muslim society. It is a disciplinary measure taken by religious authorities against those who commit grave transgressions or promote ideas considered contrary to Islamic teachings. The process of excommunication may vary among different Islamic sects, but it generally involves a declaration by religious leaders, and its consequences may include social isolation, denial of religious services, and disinheritance from certain rights within the Muslim community.
