Ruling on the present Shiites


447

Q 5: Are all the present Shiites Kafirs (disbelievers) or just their Imams?


A: Shiites nowadays have many sects. For more clarification on this issue, refer to the contemporary books written on deviant sects, and you could also read Mukhtasar Al-Tuhfah Al-Ithna `Ashriyyah and Al-Khutut Al-`Aridah by Muhibb Al-Din (Part No. 2; Page No. 375) Al-Khatib, Minhaj Al-Sunnah by Ibn Taymiyyah, and its abridged version, Al-Muntaqa by Al-Dhahaby. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
