Are the Rafidah prevented from entering mosques and expelled?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A question was asked earlier about the Rafidah. That is, we have there... they come down to the markets and pray in the mosques. Is it permissible for us to expel them from the mosques, even though the army sometimes prevents this?
The Shaykh : Sometimes what?
The questioner : The army, meaning those with them, meaning they prevent us if we expel them or remove them from the mosque.
The Shaykh : I do not think they should be expelled from the mosque; rather, they should be left to pray, perhaps Allah will guide them.
The questioner : They pray according to innovation, O Shaykh, not according to the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : No, if they enter the mosques, as far as I know, they pray with the people.
The questioner : No, Shaykh, they pray behind.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : They pray alone.
The Shaykh : If they are prevented from praying behind the people, it should be said: "Pray with the people." As for expelling them from the mosques, I do not think that is right.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It should be said to them: "Wait, if you do not want to pray with the congregation, wait until the people leave the mosque and then pray." Yes, good. Is there no attempt to call them to the truth? Not in a collective manner; the collective manner may not yield benefit. But you look at the refined among them, the one who has awareness, and you call him to your homes and speak with him with fairness and justice. Yes, yes.
