The disbelief of one who says: The message is for 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 9651 ):
Q1: We have seen many differences in some books. We read in some books that the Messenger is 'Ali ibn Abi Talib , and in other books it is said that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger, and 'Ali is not mentioned in them?
A1: Whoever says: (That 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
is the Messenger of Allah) is a disbeliever. The truth must be made clear to him with its evidence, and he must be guided to the fact that Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), not 'Ali. If he repents, praise be to Allah. If he persists, the general authority must kill him for his apostasy from Islam. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
