Q 3:
Is
Imamite Shi`ah
an Islamic sect? Who is the founder?
In fact, the Shi`ah claim their sect is traceable back to
`Aly
(may Allah honor (Part No. 2; Page No. 378) his face). However, if the sect of
the Shiites
is not Islamic, in what way will it be non-Islamic? I hope Your Eminence graciously gives me a detailed account provided with valid evidence of the
Shiite sect
and their beliefs along with highlighting some innovative Islamic sects.
A:
The fundamentals and secondary elements of
the Imamite Shi`ah are Bid`ahs (innovations in religion). You are advised to consult the books "Al-Khututul-'Aridah", "Al-Tuhfa Al-Ithna 'Ashariyyah Abridged" and "Minhajul-Sunnah" by Shaykh-ul-Islam for an account of many of their Bid'ahs.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
