The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What do you say about the youth from al-Sharqiyah who wanted to call the Rafidah?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : They wanted to call the Rafidah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So they followed...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So they followed their path. Do you see, O Shaykh, that we should boycott them, or call them and advise them? That is what I mean.
The Shaykh : They wanted to call the Rafidah, meaning they wanted to call the Rafidah to the Sunnah?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : How can they want to call them to the Sunnah while they are following their path?
The questioner : They, meaning, they wanted what they wanted. Naturally, at the beginning, they were following their methodology, but after they had been with them for a period, they replaced their religion with the religion of the Rafidah.
The Shaykh : Meaning they became Rafidah?
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh. Some of them even say: I believe in the blessing of al-Husayn. And some of them say: If a man came to me whom I was pleased with for my daughter, I would marry her to him.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : If a man came to me whom I was pleased with for my daughter, I would marry her to him.
The Shaykh : Marry her to whom?
The questioner : A Rafidi.
The Shaykh : Ah. In any case, there is no doubt that these people have relapsed, may Allah protect us from that, because they replaced what is better with what is lower. They must repent to Allah and return to their right path. We testify that al-Husayn ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and his brother al-Hasan are both the masters of the youth of Paradise. We acknowledge his virtue and say: What happened to him was a trial from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but he was patient and sought reward, so he attained the rank of the patient. However, it is absolutely not permissible for a person to move from the Salafi, Sunni way to an innovated, newly invented way that contradicts the school of the people of the Sunnah. If these people persist in what they are upon after being advised, they must be boycotted. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
