The Ruling on Eating the Slaughter of a Rafidi
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a man working in the city of Najran. A man met me at his home and invited me to drink coffee. This man had slaughtered an animal. When the time for prayer came, he did not pray with us. It then became clear that he is one of the Rafidah. What is your opinion? Is it permissible to eat his slaughter? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If it is known that he is one of the Rafidah, his slaughter is not taken; because they worship 'Ali and the People of the House, they call upon them for aid, and they make vows to them. They are disbelievers on account of this, whether they are in Najran and their followers, or in al-Qatif, or elsewhere. If it is known that he is one of the Rafidah, his slaughter is not taken; because of their apparent disbelief in their worship of the People of the House, their attachment to 'Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn, their calling upon them for aid, their vows to them, and their slaughtering for them. When they stand, they say, "O 'Ali," and when they sit, they say, "O 'Ali." We ask Allah for safety. This is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is obligatory to hate them for the sake of Allah and not to take them as friends. However, they should be advised and called to Allah, perhaps Allah will guide them. If you have a connection with them, call them to Allah and encourage them to follow the Sunnah, love the Companions, and be satisfied with them. The Rafidah curse the Companions; they curse them, except for a few, a very small number. We ask Allah for safety.
