Do the Shi'ah become disbelievers for declaring the Companions disbelievers - may Allah be pleased with them - ?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : No, I want to know whether they mean that they become disbelievers by declaring the Companions disbelievers, or not?
The Shaykh : We say regarding takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) ... but we say: everyone who believes in such a belief from the beliefs of the Shi'ah or others is a disbeliever, with a condition. This is the second condition; the first condition is this; and with the condition that the legal proof is established from the Book of Allah and the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah; then he is declared a disbeliever; meaning, if a person falls into explicit disbelief, it is not permissible to rush to declare him a disbeliever until the proof of Allah is established against him.
Is there anything else?
