The Sacrifice of the Rafidah and Those Who Call Upon Other Than Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek forgiveness from Allah. Do you consider the Rafidah to be...?
Answer:
Whoever calls upon other than Allah, or seeks aid from other than Allah from among the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous, or from the People of the House, his sacrifice is forbidden (haram) because he is one who associates partners with Allah (mushrik). The one who seeks aid from other than Allah, or slaughters for other than Allah, or calls upon other than Allah is a mushrik, whether he is from the Rafidah or from others, and his sacrifice is forbidden because it is the sacrifice of a mushrik. Even the Sufis, even those who claim to follow the Sunnah but slaughter for the graves—these are mushriks, and their sacrifices are not permissible.
