The Ruling on the Rafidah and Eating Their Slaughtered Animals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, are the Rafidah among the Muslims? And another question: Is it permissible to eat their slaughtered animals?
Answer:
No, the Rafidah are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah); they worship 'Ali and they worship Husayn. They have shrines and idols in Karbala and in Qubay and in other places; they are grave-worshippers. On this basis, they are not among the Muslims, but they claim affiliation with Islam. In statistics, when Muslims are counted, they are included in the total; they are counted among them. They put on a show, and among their principles is taqiyyah (dissimulation), whose reality is nifaq (hypocrisy); they do not display what they conceal of their beliefs and principles. On this basis, we do not eat their slaughtered animals.
