Question:
We have a call from Muhammad from the Holy Makkah. Muhammad. Welcome. May Allah keep you safe. Please go ahead. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. If you please, a word with the Honorable Shaykh. He is listening to you now, please go ahead. Shaykh, I have two questions. The first question is: What is the difference between a Shi'i and a Sunni? And the second question is: Is what is happening in Syria, Iraq, and Palestine considered jihad? Please clarify this for us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
My brother, you have no benefit from this question, but the Shi'i is one who follows the Shi'ah according to the Shi'ah school of jurisprudence, and the Sunni is one who follows the school of the people of the Sunnah. As for Iraq and Syria, you have no involvement in them. Yes.
