Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Anyone else?
The questioner : O our Shaykh!
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: And a brief overview of the Druze? I mean, a brief overview of the Druze? And when did they originate?
The Shaykh: The Druze are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). Their origin was Muslim, and then they deviated from the straight path, and then they associated partners with the Great Allah, and they worshipped al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah who was in Cairo at that time. Many of them are in Syria and elsewhere, so they are not Muslims at all.
