The Rafidah add to the adhan by saying: "We bear witness that 'Ali is the wali (close friend) of Allah." So what do you advise students of knowledge to do?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We hear the Rafidah in their adhan saying, "We bear witness that 'Ali is the wali of Allah." We reject this phrase from them. Do we reject it as a phrase or as a meaning?

The Shaykh:
For those who accept the truth from them, explain it to them, and say: The adhan of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which is established from him, does not contain this phrase. We are followers, not innovators. Explain this to them, praise be to Allah. As for those who do not accept it, the proof is established against them.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:

The Shaykh:
Correct their 'aqidah (creed) first, before the adhan. They have other things besides this. Explain it to them, advise them, and explain tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and 'aqidah to them. Yes.
