Should a Muslim call anyone a Kafir?

Calling someone a "Kafir" (i.e. one who denies the truth) or "Munafiq" (i.e. a hypocrite) or "Fasiq" (i.e. a wrongdoer) is itself a wrongdoing. Allah alone can see into people's hearts. It is in the light of this that the Prophet saws.gif proclaimed in a Hadith that if you call someone a Kafir and he is not a Kafir, then Allah will consider you as a Kafir. (Bukhari) from Riyad-us-Saliheen No. 1565. Allah says that He knows best who strays from His path and who recieves guidance (6:117).
