The Ruling on the Common People of the Rafidah and the Sufis, and the Excuse of the People of the West by Ignorance, and Efforts in Performing 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the fate and ruling regarding the common people of the Rafidah and the Sufis?
The Shaykh:
Their fate and ruling are with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He is the One who will hold them accountable, and He is the One who will take charge of their recompense. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Are Muslims from the West excused by ignorance if their creed is defective, given that there are no scholars in the West?
The Shaykh:
One who finds someone to teach him and explain things to him is not excused by ignorance. Scholars are widespread, praise be to Allah, in the West and in the East. And the media, praise be to Allah, broadcast the call to Allah, clarify the correct creed, and forbid shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the corrupters of the creed. This is also the case in the widespread books. So no excuse remains, for Allah has established the proof against the people of the earth; no excuse remains for them except for one who is cut off, to whom nothing reaches, who hears nothing, and reads nothing. This is rare, and the rare has no ruling. Yes.
