The ruling on naming a group that follows the methodology of the Rafidah "Party of Allah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There is a group that is fighting, and they follow the methodology of the Rafidah (the Twelver Shi'ah), and they call themselves "Party of Allah," and they want to say
the party of Allah - they are the successful.اللَّهِ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
[Al-Mujadila 58:22]
. Will such people succeed?

Answer:
The matter, in reality, is not about the name or the distance. If they are upright upon the Shari'ah of Allah and the religion of Allah, and loyal to Allah and His Messenger and the believers, then they are the Party of Allah. But if they call themselves the Party of Allah while they are with the disbelievers, with them, and enemies to the Muslims—enemies to the Muslims and the believers—then they are not the Party of Allah. The name is not sufficient, and the claims are not sufficient; the truth is necessary. So one looks at their madhhab (school of jurisprudence) and looks at their actions. If they are in accordance with the Shari'ah of Allah the Exalted, then they are the Party of Allah. But if they are against the Shari'ah of Allah, then they are of the Party of Satan.

But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allah and His beloved."وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:18]
. The criterion is the reality, not the claim. Yes.
