The ruling on the Shi'ah's defaming of the Prophet and his wives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it correct for us to say that the Shi'ah spoke ill of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); because they spoke ill of his honor and accused some of his wives of lewdness?
Answer:
Yes, they defamed the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). In that they accused some of his wives of slander, and may Allah protect us from that. That is, they inherited from the hypocrites who are in the lowest depths of the Fire; they inherited this from them. So the one who does not exonerate 'A'ishah is a denier of Allah and His Messenger. Allah exonerated her in the Qur'an, a Book that is recited until the Day of Resurrection. So the one who does not exonerate her is a denier of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
And a denier of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). How could Allah choose for His Prophet a wife about whom there is talk of the good ones? And for this reason He said "the good ones"[An-Nur 24:26] This is evidence that Allah does not choose for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except the good one. They say, may Allah protect us, that He did not choose for him a bad one. Or they are deniers of Allah. Yes.

Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what the slanderers say.
الْخَبِيثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَالطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ
