Question: Some of the Du’at (Callers to Islaam) and students of knowledge say that the Shi'aa and the Raafidhah are our brothers. Is it permissible for us to say this and what is required [of us] in this regard?
Answer
by Sheikh Saalih al-Fawzaan حفظه الله:
We absolve and clear ourselves to Allaah of them and this speech. They are NOT our brothers. [Swearing by Allaah] They
are not our brothers. Rather they are the brothers
of Shaitaan because they blaspheme and slander the Mother of the
Believers Aa’isha رضي الله عنها, the
wife of the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه
وسلّم.
Allaah chose her for His Prophet صلّى
اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم. As-Siddiqah Bint
As-Siddiq. The truthful, daughter of the truthful (her father, Abu Bakr
as-Siddiq). They also declare Abu Bakr and Umar to be disbelievers and curse
them both. They declare the Sahaba in their entirety to be disbelievers except
Ahlul Bayt, [one of whom is] Ali Ibn Abi Talib (رضي اللّه عنـه).
Nevertheless, they are enemies of Ali Ibn
Abi Talib رضي
اللّه عنـه. He is innocent of and free from
them. Ali رضي
اللّه عنـه is
our Imaam and not theirs. He is an Imaam of Ahlus-Sunnah and not of the
malevolent (spiteful, mean) and wicked Raafidhah. So we free ourselves to Allaah
from them and they are not our brothers.
Whoever says that they are his brothers, he
must seek forgiveness from Allaah and resolve to change. Allaah سُبحانه
وتعالى has made mandatory
upon us al-Bara’ah (absolving and distancing oneself) from the people of
misguidance and drawing near to the people of Eemaan.
