It is good that you have brought up this topic. I will post everything I have in my possession and others are requested to do same. There are many who try to
sugar-coat or hide the verdicts of scholars to please their masters and portray Shi'as as our 'brothers'.

"It was already mentioned that the Hanafi scholars condemned one with kufr who denies the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna 'Umar (may Allah
be pleased with them). This ruling is mentioned in their books with detail as it is mentioned in Al-Asl by Imam Muhammad bin al-Hassan al-Shaybani (may Allah
have mercy upon him). It is obvious that they have inherited it from their Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah be pleased with him) and he knows more about the
Rawafid as he is from Kufa and Kufa was the origin and headquarter of the Rawafid. Among the Rawafid, there are many groups, some must be condemned with
kufr while some not. So, when Imam Abu Hanifah regards the denier of caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as kafir, so one who
curses him will necessarily be called kafir except that if one makes some difference. As it is clear that the reason of declaring him as kafir is his opposition to the
ijma' (consensus) based upon the ruling that one who denies a unanimous matter (of religion) will be called kafir. This is a general rule among the theologians.
The caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) is a unanimous matter from the time when Sayyiduna Umar came forward for his ba'yah
(solemn pledge of obedience), but it cannot be contradicted with the delay made by some Sahabah; since those who delayed in ba'yah they did not delay due to
any disagreement about his eligibility of caliphate, therefore they used to take his bestowals and used to take their issues to him. So, ba'yah is something and
ijma' is something else, and one is not necessary for the other. You should understand this point, as some people commit mistake therein. If you object that
calling anyone with kafir is conditioned with the rejection of a matter categorized as necessary in religion. I will say that the matter of his caliphate falls in the
same category; since it is proved from widely reported traditions to the extent of being necessary that the Sahabah took oath of allegiance (bayah) with him, so
this matter turned like a unanimous matter known necessarily. And there is no doubt in the matter and there was no Rafidhi in the period of Sayyiduna Abu
Bakr al-Siddiq, neither in the reign of Sayyiduna 'Umar nor Sayyiduna 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) rather they emerged later on."

I have a question (to anyone who may know).
We know 12-vers are called Kafir by consensus.
I know Tafdeeli Shias are not called non-muslims, unless they have kufriaa beliefs.
However, how about "Zaidi" shias, like the ones in Yemen.
Any views from scholars about Zaidis?
Are they Kaafirs or only Fasiqs of the worst kind etc.?

THE ISLAMIC RULING ON SHI'ITES
Early Scholars
Imaam ash-Shaafièe
On one occasion ash-Shaafièe said concerning the Shiìtes, "I have not seen among the heretics a people more famous for falsehood than the Raafidite
Shiìtes."
On another occasion he said, "Narrate knowledge from everyone you meet except the Raafidite Shiìtes, because they invent Hadeeths and adopt them as part
of their religion." [Ibid, p. 38]
Imaam Abu Haneefah
It was reported that often Abu Haneefah used to repeat the following statement about the Shiìtes, "Whoever doubts whether they are disbelievers has himself
committed disbelief."
Imaam Maalik
Once Maalik was asked about them and he replied, "Do not speak to them nor narrate from them, for surely they are liars." [Minhaaj as-Sunnah, 1/37]
During a class of Imaam Maalik, it was mentioned that the Raafidite Shiìtes curse the Sahaabah. In reply, he quoted the Quranic verse, "Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah and those with him are harsh with the disbelievers and gentle among themselves. So that the disbelievers may become enraged with them."
He then said, "Whoever becomes enraged when the Sahaabah are mentioned is one about whom the verse speaks." [Tafseeer al-Qurtubee, Soorah al-Fath;
Editor's note: That is, anyone who is enraged by the mention of the Sahaabah is a disbeliever, because the verse says, "...the disbelievers may become enraged
3 of 51 22/11/2012 20:21
with them (Sahaabah)."]
Ibn al-Mubaarak
Ibn al-Mubaarak was reported to have said, "Religion is gained from Ahl al-Hadeeth, scholastic theology and crafty exemptions from religious ordinances of Ahl
ar-Ray and lies from the Raafidite Shiìtes." [Adh-Dhahabee, al Muntaqaa min Minhaaj al-I`tidaal, p. 480]
Abu Zuràh ar-Raazee
This great scholar was quoted as saying, "If you see someone degrade any of the companions of the Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam, know that he is a
disbeliever. Because the Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam, was real, what he brought was the truth and all of it was conveyed to us by the way of the
Sahaabah. What those disbelievers wish to do is to cast doubt on the reliability of our narrators in order to invalidate the Quraan and the Sunnah. Thus the
disbelievers are the ones most deserving defamation."
Al-Qaadee Abu Ya`laa
It was reported that Abu Ya`laa said, "The position of jurists concerning one who curses the Sahaabah, believing that such an act is permissible, is that he has
committed an act of disbelief. If he curses them but does not believe that cursing them is permissible, then he is guilty of immorality, and not disbelief." [Ibn
Taymeeyah, as-Sawaarim al-Maslool, p. 569]
At-Tahaawee
In his book on the Islamic creed, al-Àqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah, the author states, "We love the companions of Allaah's Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wasallam,
without going overboard in our love of anyone of them or remaining aloof (tabarra) from any of them. We hate those who hate them or speak ill of them and we
only speak well of them. Loving them is a religious act, and an expression of faith and righteousness while hating them is an act of disbelief, hypocrisy and
transgression." [Sharh al-Àqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah, p. 528]
Ibn Hazm al-Andaloosee
One day during the period of Muslim rule in Spain, Imaam Abu Muhammad ibn Hazm was having a debate with some Spanish Catholic priests about their
religious texts. He brought before them evidence of textual distortions in the Bible and the loss of original manuscripts. When they replied by pointing out to him
Shiìte claims also being distorted, Ibn Hazm informed them that "Shiìte could not be used as evidence against the Quraan or against Muslims because they are
not themselves Muslims." [Ibn Hazm, al-Fisaal fee al-Milal wa an-Nihal, 2/78 and 4/182]
Their claims have been rebutted by numerous other early scholars like Ibn Taymeeyah in Minhaaj as-Sunnah, adh-Dhahabee in Muntaqaa min Minhaaj
al-I`tidaal, Ibn Katheer in his history book [al-Bidaayah wa an-Nihaayah], Ibn al-Jawzee in Talbees Iblees, and al-Qaadee ibn al-Àrabee in al-Àwwaasim min
al-Qawaasim.
Contemporary Scholars
Imaam al-Aloosee
He declared the Raafidite Shi'ites disbelievers because of their defamation of the Sahaabah. His position was based on the rulings of Imam Malik and other
scholars who were in agreement with him. In reply to their claim to be Ahl Bayt (the Prophet's sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam family), al-Aloosee said, "No, they
are really followers of the Devils and Ahl Bayt are innocent of them."
Muhibbuddeen al-Khateeb
This scholar wrote a book on them called al Khutoot al-'Areedah lil-Usus allatee Qaama 'Alayhaa Deen ash-Shee'ah al-Ithnay 'Ashreeyah (lit. Broad outlines of
the basis for the Twelver Shi'ite Creed). He also footnoted earlier works on the Shee'ah like Al-Muntaqaa and 'Awaasim min al-Qaqaasim. In all of his works he
considers the Shi'ites to be disbelievers.
Bahjat al-Baitaar
When this great Syrian scholar was asked if transactions were permissible with Shi'ites, he replied in a book called Al-Islaam wa as-Sahaabah al-Kiraam bain
as-Sunnah wa ash-Shee'ah in which he said, "Political and economic dealings with them are allowed in the same way that they are allowed with states and
people with whom there are treaties in spite of differences between their lands and religions and ours. And help can only be sought from Allah."
Muhammad Rasheed Ridaa
4 of 51 22/11/2012 20:21
Saad
This scholar was among those who worked sincerely for rapproachment between the Sunnites and the Shi'ites, and they in turn pretended moderation for his
benefit. However, in the midst of his efforts they caught him by surprise by presenting him with some of their books which slandered Islaam. He then replied to
them in a paper called As-Sunnah wa ash-Shee'ah in which he exposed their doctrines and idolatrous practices.
Dr. Hilaalee
After living closely to the Shi'ites for some years, the famous Morrocan scholar, Dr Hilaalee, wrote a paper on them in which he declared them disbelievers.
Al-Basheer al-Ibraaheemee
While visiting Iraq, this professor who is the leading religious scholar in Algeria saw with his own eyes the Shi'ite book, Az-Zahraa, in which 'Umar ibn al-Khataab
- may Allah be pleased with him - is accused of homosexuality. On his return home to Algeria he exposed the Shi'ites and clearly outlined their principle beliefs
and practices.
Mustafaa as-Sibaa'ee
This eminent Palestinian scholar was also among those who lived with the Shi'ites for a period and worked for rapproachment with them; however, he soon
discovered their real intentions and noted them in the foreword of his classic, As-Sunnah wa Makaanatuhaa. He wrote, "Those people continue to hold fast to
their books in which slanderous attacks and false descriptions are given of the incidents of disagreement among the Sahaabah. Hence their intention behing the
call to rapprochement seems to be bringing the Sunnites closer to the Shi'ite creed and not bringing them closer to each other."
On another occasion, he wrote, "A Muslim would almost be in a state of total bewilderment and confusion at the audacity of these people towards Allah's
Messenger sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam were it not for his knowledge that most of the Raafidites are Persians. Some Persians feigned Islaam and used Shi'ism
as a cover for the destruction of Islaam. There were also among the Persians those who were unable to free themselves from the effects of their former religions
and thus they entered Islaam with a pagan mentality which did not mind telling lies about the Prophet sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam"
Abul-A'laa al-Maududi
This Pakistani scholar and leader wrote an introduction to the book, Ar-Riddah bain al-Ams wa al-Yaum (lit. Apostasy in the Past and the Present) by Muhammad
KaadHim Habeeb published in 1977. In it the author wrote of the Imaami Ja'fari Shi'ites, "In spite of their moderate views (relative to other sects of Shi'ism),
they are swimming in disbelief like white blood cells in blood or like fish in water." Maududi supported these views by praising the author and recommending that
the book be done in hardback.
Among other contemporary scholars who have have made similar statements are: Shaikh Ibn Baaz, 'Allaamah ash-Shanqeetee, al-Albaanee, Ahmad Ameen,
an-Nashaasheebee and Dr. Rashaad Saalim.[I]The Mirage in Iran by Dr. Ahmad al-Afghaanee

Verdict of Imam Malik
Hafiz ibn Hajar Makki (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in Al-Sawaiq al-Muhriqah, p.294,
` ; ` .
` ~ `
"And from this verse, Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him), as reported from him, had deduced the verdict of kufr of Rawafid as they show hatred
towards the Sahabah. He further states because the Sahabah causes them anger and every individual who is angered by the Sahabah is a kafir. This extraction
is excellent as the verse in itself bears testimony to it. Therefore Imam Shafi (may Allah have mercy on him) has agreed with him (Imam Malik) on the verdict of
declaring them [Rawafid] kafir and a large group of Imams agreed with him too."

I have a question regarding Ismaili Shias. They're aqidah is somewhat similar to the rawafid I think. Are they faasiqs/non-muslim? Jazakallah

Actually they are far worse then Twelvers Shi'ah in the filthy 'aqidah of theirs!

Verdict of Ibn Hazam
He writes,

"Verily the Rawafid are not from Islam and they are a sect thats beginning originates about twenty five years after the demise of Holy Messenger (Allah bless
him and give him peace). Their origin was in the acceptance of the invitation of the one Allah had disgraced ['Abd Allah ibn Saba]; the one who made evil plans
against Islam. They are a sect that is equated to the Jews and Christians in their lies and deceit."

Mulla Ali Qari (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote extensively refuting Shias. He writes at one place,
` ; `
"According to me, this is not the case with the Rawafid who emerged in our time, since they believe that most of the Sahabah were kafir let alone the Ahl
al-Sunnah wal Jamah, as they [Rawafid] are kafir unanimously (ijma') without any dissent."
(Mirqat, 9:137)
He also stated,
` `
"If anyone rejects Sayyiduna Abu Bakar and Sayyiduna 'Umar's (may Allah be pleased with them) khilafah, he would be considered a kafir. The reason for this is
that their khilafah was established through consensus (ijma') without any dispute."

And he said,
"A wali cannot reach the status of a prophet. This is because the prophets are: (1) sinless (masum), (2) protected from an evil death, (3) honored with
revelation to the extent that their dreams are also revelations, (4) they are able to see angels, and (5) commanded to propagate the injunctions [of Allah]. That
which has been narrated regarding the Karramiyyah that it is possible for a wali to be superior to a prophet is kufr, astrayness, heresy and ignorance."

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah
Amazing thread..was good reading all the way...
Im a former Shia....left shia Islam (Twelfer Shia Imam) after many years as devoted Shia...I have been a vitness to very much wrong teachings and wrong
behaviers.
During my last years as Shia, I began to investigate all these mistakes and I keept turning back to my Sunni Books, should mention that I was sunni when I
came to Islam.
What I have and had difficult by understanding, is that the major Mufti's or Sheikh's rarely talks about this issue of wrong teachings and wrong sect.
For a new Muslim or revert it is very difficult if you are trapped inside a group of Shia's before you actually know about Islam in general.
Any Im back, practicying Sunnah of the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wasallam...foremost living by Quran.
Thanks for this wonderfull thread..

group of Christians came to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and at the head of them was a major scholar of the Jews. So the leader said: You debate about

Difference between Shia & Rafidi
Allamah Sarfaraz Khan Safdar (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in Irshad al-Shia that one of the main reason for some scholars hesitation in takfir of Shias
in due to the fact that Shia and Rafidi had different connotation over the centuries. The word Shia had different meaning according to Mutaqaddimin while
Mutaakhirin used it in different sense. Let alone laymen, many scholars are not even aware of this difference and this can lead them to confusion when they
come across different rulings regarding Shias.
Hafiz ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) writes,
1:56
` `
So, tashayyu according to the earlier scholars (Mutaqaddimin) is to believe that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is superior to Sayyiduna Usman
(may Allah be pleased with him) and that Sayyiduna Ali was rightful in his wars while his opponents were on wrong, whereas they regard Shaykhayn (Sayyiduna
Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with them) superordinate and superior ... but according to the latter scholars, tashayyu is pure rifd, so the
tradition of extremist Rafidi will not be accepted and he will not be given any regard. (Tahzib al-Tahzib, 1:56)
And Imam Jalal al-Din Suyuti (may Allah have mercy on him) writes,
1:253 `
: `
` `
` `
"Al-Dhahabi (may Allah have mercy on him) has written this in al-Mizan and said: bidah is of two types; smaller like tashayyu without extremism, or with
extremism, like one who criticized those who fought Sayyiduna Ali. There were many such people in the tabiin and their followers along with religiousness, piety
and truthfulness. If their traditions are rejected, a good part of the Prophets (Allah bless him and give him peace) heritage will vanish, and this will be an open
evil. The second one is greater bidah like complete rifd and resorting to extremism in this regard, to debase Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar and
inviting to the same. So, these kinds of people will not be accepted and given any esteem. (Tadrib al-Rawi, 1:253)
Shaykh Sarfaraz mentions from this we know that Shias during the time of Salaf agreed with Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamah on all matters of usul and furu apart
from giving preference to Sayyiduna Ali over Sayyiduna Usman but even this is bidah as it is against ijma of the Ummah. These people respected the Shaykhayn
and they didnt make takfir of Sayyiduna Muawiyyah (may Allah be pleased with him).

"Some of the seniors ['ulama] have said that Rawafid are worse than Jews and Christians because Jews believe that Companions of Hadhrat Musa (may the
peace of Allah be upon him) are superior than all the nations. And Christians believe that Companions of Hadhrat Isa (may the peace of Allah be upon him) are
superior than all the nations. On the contrary, Rawafid believe that Companions of Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) are worse of the people."
(Al-Nibras Sharah Sharah al-'Aqaid, p.304)
Imam Fakhr al-Din Razi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"An ant from valley of the ants possesses more intellect than Rawafid. At the arrival of Hadhrat Sulayman (may the peace of Allah be upon him) and his army,
she addressed her ants:
"O ants, enter your homes before Hadhrat Sulayman and his army might crush you unintentionally."
Look, here an ant doesn't believe that companions of Sulayman will oppress even an ant intentionally. Contrary to this, Rawafid hold the belief of intentional
oppression from the Companions of Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) towards the Ahl al-Bayt [of Sayyiduna Muhammad]."

Assalam o alaykum,
Sayyid al-Taifa Shaykh Abd al-Qadir Jailani (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in Ghuniyat al-Talibin, p.231,
1. There are many similarities between the madhab of Jews and Rawafid. Imam al-Shabi (d: 105H / may Allah have mercy on him) said, calamity of Jews is the
calamity of Rawafid and vice versa. Jews believe that imamat is only in the progeny of Sayyiduna Dawud (may the peace of Allah be upon him) and Rawafid say
that imamat is only in the progeny of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
2. Jews claim that there is no jihad until the appearance of Masih Dajjal while Rawafid claim that there is no jihad until the coming of Sayyiduna Mahdi.
3. Jews delay the Maghrib Salat and so do the Rawafid.
4. Jews stay away from the Qibla, and so do the Rawafid and they call out loud during Salat, and let their clothes hanging low in Salat. (Sadl below ankles
Our Traditionalist brethren should take heed from this)
5. Jew allow spilling the blood of the Muslims, so do the Rawafid.
6. Jews say there is no idah for women and so do the Rawafid. Jews say that three talaqs are nothing and so do Rawafid. (Our Ghayr Muqallid brethren should
take heed from this)
7. Jewish people distorted the Torah and the Rawafid distorted the Qur'an because they say the Qur'an is changed and distorted, they read it in impermissible
ways and say that there are additions in it.
8. And a group among them shows enmity towards Sayyiduna Gabriel (may the peace of Allah be upon him) like the Jews.

Assalam o alaykum,
That is a good question.
Imam Shah 'Abd al-'Aziz Muhaddith Dahlawi (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in Fatawa 'Azizi,

"Denying their deserveness (right) of it [Khilafah]."
It is the Shia belief that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna 'Umar didn't deserve to be rulers after the demise of Holy Messenger (Allah bless him and give him
peace). It was Sayyiduna Ali appointed as a Caliph by the Holy Messenger but the Companions stole it from him. It was the right of Sayyiduna Ali to be first
Caliph and not others.
So here rejecting doesn't mean denying the historical fact that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna 'Umar became Caliphs because no one holds such a view.

(apostates)."

Imam Kashmiri further writes,
"Majority have declared kafir those who deny the Khilafah of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr...There is no difference that denier of Khilafah of either Sayyiduna Abu Bakr,
Sayyiduna 'Umar or Sayyiduna 'Usman (may Allah be pleased with them) is a kafir."

Answer: According to the research scholars (muhaqqiqin) the ruling of Sabbi Rawafid is that of apostates (murtads), hence their zabihah is not halal; however
those scholars who consider them Ahl al-Kitab, it will be permissible according to them.

Question: I liked the letter of Haji Sahib to Sir Sayyid very much that I published it in Sach and according to my humble opinion, it should be set as standard
and all the deviant sects should be treated according to the same i.e. we should neither show extraordinary compromise nor so much opposition that there
remains no difference between them and the Aryans, Christians, etc.
Answer: But, if they make themselves kafir, should we not regard them kafir? None in the world calls himself kafir, some call themselves Christians while some
call themselves Jews, but since the beliefs of these sects are based on heretic evidences; therefore they will be called kafir. So, the criteria are the heretic
beliefs. So, if a person admits that he belongs to Shiite sect and any of the beliefs attributed to the sect is kufr, so calling himself with the sect necessarily means
that he follows the same beliefs, so why should he not be declared kafir? If the heretic belief would have been disputed among them, we would have hesitated to
label him with kufr, but the case is not so. If there is some dispute, it is very minor which is refuted by the majority of their scholars. Thus, in this condition, kufr
will be established. Yes, if someone openly says that he does not adhere so and so belief or they make a group and call themselves with some other name e.g.
they associate them with the scholars who denied the belief of tahrif (in the Quran) like they call themselves Saduqi, Qumi, Murtazawi or Tabrasi instead of
calling Shia, then the particular person or group will be exempted from the generality. But, these exemptions will not cause any change in legal ruling;
prohibition of marriage with them and prohibition of their slaughtered animals are legal rulings, they will apply them as well until they are not well-known and
distinguished sect, especially in the case when they are suspected to resort to taqiyyah. Though we avoid having ill thinking about them but the precaution also
will be like ill thinking. Yes, he will be treated by Allah according to his personal belief. If a Hindu believes in tawhid and risalah (prophethood) but calls himself a
Hindu though with some misinterpretation, how he will be treated? The same case applies to them. There are some Hindus in district Fatahpur who recite the
Quran and Hadiths and perform Salat and Sawm, but call themselves Hindus. Their clothing and names are just like Hindus. If they call themselves Hindus and
do not disclose their creed, will anyone have to differentiate that, 'if they have such beliefs they are Hindu' and 'if they hold such beliefs they are Muslim'?

Question:
1. Are Shias Muslim or kafir?
2. What do scholars say regarding reading or leading a janazah of Shias?
3. Is it allowed to eat stuff cooked in Shia houses?
4. Is the zabihah of Shias permissible?
Answer:
"Shia Itna 'Asharis are of the view of tahrif in the Qur'an, consider Sahabah to be kafir and murtad apart from three or four, and consider eleven imams after
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to be masum (infallible), obedience to whom is obligatory (muftarid al-ta'at), and consider them superior than the
Prophets and all these beliefs are mentioned in major and reliable books of their religion and it is apparent that those who hold such beliefs are not Muslim. Their
zabihah is not halal nor is it allowed to read their janazah and it is not allowed to bury them in the graveyard of Muslims.

Verdicts re: Raj'at
'Allamah Dr. Khalid Mahmud writes in Shias and Sunnis, The Difference,
"The belief in Rajat is also a distinct cause of kufr.
From among the many beliefs of the Ithna 'Ashari Shia, the belief in Rajat also forms a fundamental belief. It is their belief that prior to the day of resurrection,
the dead person has to come back into the world. The pious persons of the highest category will be brought of life again and their enemies will also be brought to
life. Both these groups will come back into this world (Rajat) and the pious persons will take full revenge from their opponents."
The scholar of the fifth century, Imam Abu Shakur Muhammad Shaghib al-Kabshi al-Salimi (may Alllah have mercy on him), writes,
"The person who believes that Sayyiduna .Ali, his children and his companions will return to the world and take revenge from their enemies then this belief is
kufr because he is rejecting the text [of the Quran] and the day of Resurrection.
(Shias and Sunnis, The Difference Dr. 'Allamah Khalid Mahmud)
It is written in Fatawa al-Hindiyyah,

"It is compulsory (wajib) to declare the Rawafid kafir because of their belief that the dead returns (Raj'ah) to this world."
(Fatawa Alamgiri, 17:154)
Imam Barbahari al-Hanbali (d. 329H / may Allah have mercy on him), said,
The return to this world of those who have died (Raj'ah) is an innovation and is disbelief in Allah, the Sublime. Whoever professes to believe it, is a disbeliever
in Allah and in this there is no doubt. Whoever believes in Raj'ah and says that Ali ibn Abi Talib is alive and will return before the Day of Resurrection and says
the same concerning Muhammad ibn Ali, Jafar ibn Muhammad and Musa ibn Jafar and talks about station of the imams that they know unseen, beware of them!
