Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the Twelver Shi'ah, who claim the distortion of the Qur'an, the disbelief of the Companions, and the predestination of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with them all), along with other beliefs of disbelief, considered disbelievers? And is there a distinction made between their scholars and their common people?
Answer:
They are considered apostates if they believe that the Qur'an is incomplete or that it has been edited; this is a deviation from Islam. Or if they believe that their Imams benefit, remember, and worship Allah, and praise the land of the ruling; this is a deviation from Islam, shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted. Yes.
