Reconciliation between the Sunnis and the Shi'ah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It has been found that among some of the people of the Sunnah, there are those who call for reconciliation between the people of the Sunnah and the Shi'ah.
The Shaykh : This is not the case now—may Allah bless you—so you must have heard of the reconciliation at al-Azhar in the past.
The questioner : Yes, it used to exist in Egypt only, but now some of the Najdis are calling for this.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Yes, and they argue, saying, or among their doubts that they want to establish, that there are some of the Rafidah who went deep into their rejection, and the authors of the authentic collections and others from the people of the Sunan narrated from them, like al-Abbas ibn Ya'qub...
The Shaykh : Fine; and what is behind that?
The questioner : They say that what led them to this was that they were on a false position of narrating the Sunnah from them and counting them; meaning, they trusted their narration. So if the matter were as is practiced now, of separating from the Rafidah and not approaching them, the Salaf would not have done this.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the opinion, and the answer to it is... who did it.
The questioner : And I, too, want to raise the question again with the brothers; because the discussion always revolves around it.
The Shaykh : Strange, ... regarding the viewpoint on reconciliation?
The questioner : No, no, but among whom.
The Shaykh : So what is the benefit of ...?
The questioner : Among the students who come from the students we have, they have a doubt from this side.
The Shaykh : Ah, but no one adopts it.
The questioner: No, no.
The Shaykh : So that a discussion takes place.
The questioner : No, not from the attendees, nor ...
The Shaykh : And the truth becomes clear, is there not?
The questioner: No...
The Shaykh : By Allah, as I said, I have no objection if I see that, so welcome it for us.
The questioner : Brother MuhammadEid Abbasi : That it exists and that it is alive?
The Shaykh : That is also hoped for.
The Shaykh : This is not the case now—may Allah bless you—so you must have heard of the reconciliation at al-Azhar in the past.
