The Ruling on the Existence of Parties and Sects Among Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is the existence of parties, sects, and groups today part of the disagreement about which Allah the Exalted said:
each faction, in what it hasكُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:53]
?

Answer:
You are welcome. Yes. Yes, disagreement is not permissible among Muslims. If a difference in understanding occurs, they must refer to the Book, the Sunnah, and the scholars of knowledge, and it must be resolved. As for saying, "Leave us alone and we will leave you alone, and we will unite on what we agree upon and excuse one another for what we differ on," this is false. It is obligatory that we return to the Book of Allah
And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا
[An-Nisa 4:59]
, and the one who is wrong must return to the truth; this is what is obligatory.
As for fanaticism, or saying that the obligations remain as they are, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. It is necessary to unite on the truth and abandon falsehood. Yes.
