Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Some writers glorify the scholars of the Rafidah, saying for example, "Sama'at al-Shaykh said," and they mention the name of this Rafidi. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
It is not permissible to glorify the scholars of misguidance, because glorifying them is approval of what they are upon and agreement with them regarding what they are upon. It is obligatory to boycott them, and it is obligatory to hate them and oppose them for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Therefore, it is not permissible to glorify the scholars of misguidance and the scholars of bid'ah (religious innovation); because this promotes their views, and it involves loyalty to them and agreement with them, even if only in appearance. This is a matter that is not permissible.
