Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it not more appropriate to call the Shi'ah the Rafidah (the Twelver Shi'ah), because that angers them? And Allah says: "And they do not tread upon a place that angers the disbelievers except that a righteous deed is recorded for them thereby."
Answer:
The Shi'ah are divided into sections. The Rafidah are one section of the Shi'ah. The Shi'ah are one group, and the Rafidah are a section among them. They are called the Imamiyyah, they are called the Rafidah, they are called the Ja'fariyyah, a section among them. Among them are the Zaydiyyah, and among them are the Batiniyyah, the Isma'iliyyah, the Qaramitah, and the Fatimiyyah. There are many groups. Yes.

May Allah reward you
