Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In our country, a shaykh formed a group and became its leader. In every region, he appointed leaders who support those who support them and oppose those who oppose them, even if the latter are upon the Sunnah. Is this partisanship?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Those who oppose those who oppose them, even if they are from the people of the Sunnah, do not possess the characteristics of Muslims. A believer loves [another] for the sake of his faith, even if there is a misunderstanding between you and him. Yes.
