The Call to Reconciliation Between the Sunnah and the Shi'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, in recent times there has been a great deal of calling for reconciliation between the Sunnah and the Shi'ah, and many of them, and many of some of them, have softened this matter. We would like to hear Your Excellency's opinion on this matter.
Answer:
Yes, if the Shi'ah abandon their invalid school of thought and come to us, then praise be to Allah. But as for us going to them and leaving the truth we are upon for their falsehood, this will not happen, if Allah wills. Or that we are satisfied with their school of thought and say, "Each of us is on his own path, and each of us is in the right, us and you." This is invalid; it is impossible to combine between two opposites, ever.
