The Ruling on Describing the Rafidah as Brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The people of the Sunnah in Iraq are exposed to massacres at the hands of the Rafidah. Is it correct for us to say that the Rafidah are our brothers?
Answer:
Even if they did not fight us, we do not say they are our brothers, because there are differences between us and them in 'aqidah (creed). These are not merely differences in madhhab (school of jurisprudence) or fiqh (jurisprudence); they are in 'aqidah. They are in 'aqidah. This is something known from their books. If you listen to their tapes and read their books, you will know what they are upon and that they are against Islam and the Muslims. Therefore, it is not permissible to say they are our brothers, ever.
