The Connection Between the Sufis, the Shi'ah, and the Twelver Shi'ah

Question:
This is a questioner from the internet who says: Honorable Shaykh, are the Sufis considered Shi'ah, or is there a closeness between them or a difference? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah preserve you and care for you?
Answer:
No, the Shi'ah other than the Rafidah, the Shi'ah. Originally, they are not from the Rafidah, and the Sufis originally are not from the Rafidah. Rather, they are a group who exerted themselves in worship and asceticism. This was in the beginning, then Satan gradually led them until the end of their path, or the end of the path of many of them, resulted in misguidance, deviation, and exiting the religion due to Satan's gradual influence on them. This is because they abandoned the truth from the start; they did not suffice with the worship that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated. Rather, they intensified and went beyond the types of worship and asceticism and other such things, so their affair ended this way. And thus, whoever exits the truth is tested with falsehood. Yes. Ahm.

May Allah reward you, and may Allah reward you with good,
