What is the ruling on the followers of the Shi'ah who follow their scholars in the misguidance they have fallen into?

The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding following in misguidance without knowledge, for example, the scholars of the Shi'ah, for example, whoever follows them exits, meaning, enters the circle of disbelief, as happened in the story of 'Adi ibn Hatim when he came and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) He responded to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "They did not worship them, O Messenger of Allah." He said, So here, my Shaykh, in the hadith, they followed them in misguidance. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that. And the misguiders, are they not the intended ones, the Christians, and those who worshipped in misguidance, not worshipping with established proofs or the like? May Allah bless you?

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. Are you giving a lecture or asking a question! What is your question?

The questioner : Following in misguidance, following in misguidance. We heard from the Shaykhs.

The Shaykh : Present your question. What is it?

The questioner : The question is that there are scholars, Shaykhs, who said that the scholars of the Shi'ah are declared disbelievers, but the followers, the people who follow the Shaykhs, are not declared disbelievers. This is my question?

The Shaykh : My brother, this is a question for which you have already received an answer just now. This is that whoever is misguided, it is not permissible to declare him a disbeliever except with two conditions. I repeat what I mentioned just now. The first condition is that you know that so-and-so specifically is in this misguidance. For example, the Shi'ah, I will give you an example of the Shi'ah. Among them, certainly, there is one who says that this Qur'an which is in our hands is incomplete. - Turn off this device, my brother - This Qur'an which is in our hands is not complete. There is a mushaf they claim is the Mushaf of Fatimah. But not all scholars of the Shi'ah believe in this belief. So whoever believes in this belief is a disbeliever in reality. But we do not declare him a disbeliever except after establishing the proof against him. Now, you are repeating a question that is an answer to the first question. If it is specific to the scholars of the Shi'ah, is it permissible for us to declare them disbelievers except after establishing the proof and knowing that he has fallen into disbelief, as I gave you an example of just now? As for the followers, we do not declare them disbelievers without establishing the proof against them and without knowing that they followed those scholars in their disbelief. So you are repeating a detailed question that has been answered in detail previously. As a rule, following in misguidance is misguidance. But is what you are asking about misguidance? No, rather the question is: are they declared disbelievers or not?

The questioner : Yes, this is it, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And I have told you, they are not declared disbelievers. This is the whole thing. So what else do you have, now?

The questioner : I mean, my Shaykh, for example, following a person, for example, following the people of the Fire, for example, by their deeds, or the hadith I mean, do these matters not lead to disbelief!

The Shaykh : My brother, what am I telling you? Disbelief! Glory be to Allah! What am I telling you? Disbelief, but it is not permissible to declare someone a disbeliever except after establishing the proof.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
