The ruling on declaring the Rafidah Shi'ah to be disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: The Twelver Shi'ah, or the Rafidah, do we declare them to be disbelievers, or do we say that they are enemies of Allah and His Messenger?
Answer:
They did not merely hold to Shi'ism, but they came to call upon other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They call upon the imams and the awliya (close friends of Allah), their awliya, and they seek nearness to them and slaughter for them. This is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). Whoever calls upon other than Allah, or slaughters for other than Allah, or calls for aid from other than Allah is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), whether he is from the Shi'ah or others, and he has exited the religion.
