Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh: This questioner says: Is it permissible to burn the Rafidah based on the burning of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)?
The Shaykh:
No, no. And for that reason, Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) rebuked him for burning them, saying: If they had killed them with the sword, they would not be tormented by the Fire except by the Lord of the Fire, who is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
(May Allah be pleased with him) did this out of zeal and ijtihad (independent legal reasoning), and a scholar exercises ijtihad. Yes.
