Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it correct to divide people into two groups, Sunni and Shi'ah, meaning that everyone other than the Shi'ah is Sunni? Is this a correct division?
Answer:
A Sunni is one who follows the Sunnah. The one who is not Shi'ah becomes a Sunni, not the one who follows the Sunnah. That is the Sunni, yes.
