Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) distinguish between the common people of the Rafidah and their scholars regarding disbelief, or are they all the same?
Answer:
Shaykh al-Islam and others say that if the argument has not been established against a person, it is necessary to make it clear to him and explain it to him. If he is addressed and does not accept it, he is ruled to be a disbeliever. As for their scholars and those who know that they are in error, but whose desires and ambitions led them to this, there is no doubt about their disbelief. Yes.
