Very enlightening.

AL AZHAR — FATWA ON SHIAS

Al-Azhar’s fatwa on Shias.

Statements about Shias by the Chancellor of al-Azhar University, Dr. Ahmad al-Tayyib. In an interview to Egyptian Al Neel Channel, Dr. Ahmad al-Tayyib, the Chancellor of Al-Azhar University (Egypt)

Q. In your opinion, isn’t there any problem in Shia Beliefs?.

A. Never, 50 years ago Shaikh Mahmood Shaltoot, the then Chancellor of Al Azhar, had issued a fatwa that Shia School is the fifth Islamic School and as like as the other schools.

Q. Our children are embracing Shia Islam, what should we do?

A. Let them convert and to embrace Shia School. If someone leaves Maliki or Hanafi Sect, do we criticize him? These children are just leaving fourth school and join the fifth.

Q. The Shias are becoming relatives with us and they are getting married with our children!

A. What is wrong with this, marriage between religions is allowed.

Q. It is said that the Shias have a different Quran!

A. These are the myths and superstitions of the elderly women. Shia Quran has no any difference with ours, and even the script of their Quran is like our alphabet.

Q. 23 clerics of a country (Saudi Arabia) issued a fatwa that the Shia are infidels, heretics (Kafirs)!!

A. Al-Azhar is the only authority to issue fatwa for Muslims; therefore the above said fatwa is invalid and unreliable.

Q. So what does the difference – being raised between the Shia and the Sunni – mean?

A. These differences are the part of the policies of foreign powers who seek conflict between The Shia and the Sunni.

Q. I have a very serious question that “the Shia do not accept Abu Bakr and Umar, how you can say they are Muslims?“

A. Yes, they do not accept them. But is the belief in Abu Bakr and Umar a part of the principles of Islam? The story of Abu Bakr and Umar is historic and history has nothing to do with fundamentals of the beliefs.

Q. (The reporter surprised by the response, asks) Shia has a fundamental problem and that is “they say that their Imam the time is still alive after 1,000 years!“

A. He may be alive, why is it not possible? But there is no reason that we – as Sunni – should believe just like them.

Q. (Referring to Imam Mohammad Taqi al-Jawad AS, (the 9th Imam of Shias) the reporter asked) The Shias believe that one of their Imams was just eight-year old when he became Imam; is it possible that an eight-year-old child be the Imam?

A. If an infant in a cradle can be a prophet (Issa AS), then why an eight-year-old child can not be the Imam? It is not strange. Although we may not accept this belief as we are Sunni. However, this belief does not harm their Islam, and they are Muslims.

In the above post, the Chancellor of Al-Azhar University discusses Ithna Asharis, not Ismalis or Bohras.

The above Fatwa is a genuine one and was circulated to all Jafferia Masaajids in USA. It was also sent out to all Sunni Organization (locally where I reside) and because of this Fatwa, Local Jafferia Masjid does not allow any Laanat to any of the Khalifas. Due to this Fatwa a good number of Shias (Jafferia) do come to Sunni Masjid for Jummah and many Sunni go to Jafferia Masjid for Jummah too
We are fortunate that we still have harmony despite some Salafis who tried to stir the pot and tried their best to create fissure and lucky those people have been isolated by our larger community of Shias and Sunnis

What enlightening you found ?, every question in that fatwa has an evidence based answer which can clearly prove that they are Mushriks.
Why this question was not asked?
AL azhar has no authority in Muslim world and their scholars mostly are regime sponsored and non binding. Who gave them the authority?

The Ahlus Sunnah does not recognize Al azhar and considers it to be rather an adversary of Islam.

Imams of Shias were actually Sunni.

This is the series of articles where we have proven that the Imams from Ahlebayt whom Shia consider to be their divinely appointed Imams were on the Creed of Ahlesunnah wal Jama’ah.



PART 1:

Part 1:The Imams from Ahlebayt whom Shia consider to be their divinely appointed Imams were on the Creed of Ahlesunnah wal Jama’ah.

In ‘Part 1′ we brought several similarities in beliefs between Ahlesunnah and the Imams.

PART 2:

Part 2: The Imams from Ahlebayt whom Shia consider to be their divinely appointed Imams were on the Creed of Ahlesunnah wal Jama’ah.

In ‘Part 2′ we refuted the Shia objections and arguments which they raise claiming that Ahlesunnah love and adherence to Ahlelbayt is a myth.
