The ruling on describing the Shi'ah and the Rafidah as our brothers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some callers and students of knowledge say, when speaking about the Shi'ah and the Rafidah, that they are our brothers. Is it permissible to say that, and what is obligatory in this matter if it is not correct?

Answer:
We disavow them to Allah. And we warn people to Allah against this statement. They are not our brothers. By Allah, they are not our brothers. Rather, they are the brothers of Satan. Because they. Because they insult Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whom Allah chose for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the truthful woman, daughter of the truthful man.
And they declare Abu Bakr and 'Umar to be disbelievers and curse them, and they declare the Companions in general to be disbelievers, except for the People of the House, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), even though 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) disavows them. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is our imam, not their imam. He is the imam of the people of the Sunnah, not the imam of the wicked Rafidah. So we disavow them to Allah, and they are not our brothers. And whoever says that they are his brothers, let him repent to Allah and seek Allah's forgiveness. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made it obligatory upon us to disavow the people of misguidance and to be loyal to the people of faith. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
