The questioner : The Shi'ah?
The Shaykh : As for the Shi'ah, if they openly declare hostility toward the Sunnah, it is not permissible. However, if they are hypocrites, even if they follow the practice of taqiyyah known among them and do not display hatred for the people of the Sunnah, then it is permissible.
The questioner : There is one of the Shi'ah who insults the Companions with my brother. What should my brother's position be?
The Shaykh : Naturally, your brother is not a ruler who can kill him, nor a judge who can imprison him. So, all that is required of him is to rebuke him if he is able to do so.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If he does that, his conscience is clear.
