What is the ruling on the Rafidah regarding their washing of the feet?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, Shaykh... So does it mean that they will not enter the Fire?

The Shaykh : No, it is not obligatory that they not enter the Fire. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you. The Rafidah, O Shaykh, do not wash [their feet].

The Shaykh : What? The Rafidah.

The questioner : They do not wash their feet. Is it said that they will not come on the Day of Resurrection with their feet marked?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that if they said this based on independent legal reasoning, they are like other people. But if they said it out of stubbornness and opposition to the Sunnah, they are deprived of the marking of the feet. Yes?

The questioner : Is wiping the head different from wiping the ears?

The Shaykh : What? It was not mentioned. What?

The questioner : He did not mention ... .

The Shaykh : The clear one.

The questioner : What is it?

The Shaykh :
He takes water for his ears other than the water he took for his head. يأخذ لأذنيه ماء غير الماء الذي أخذه لرأسه
Here, this is in the first [part].

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh :
He then took fresh water and wiped his head ومسح برأسه بماء غير فضل يديه
Sahih Muslim 236
That is to say, the renewal is for wiping the head only, not for the ears.
