Extract from Sheikh Yahya's Advice to Muhammad Al-Imam regarding the Rafidha

Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh states: "Fifthly, Sheikh Muhammad, may Allāh grant you success, is it part of preserving the Da’wah to align yourself with the Rafidha? Does this not harm the Da’wah by supporting falsehood and its people? This has led to some Houthis recording your voice and spreading claims such as "the Rafidha are Muslims" and other statements you made in their support. Defending those who betray themselves is prohibited, as Allah says: { وَلَا تُجَـٰدِلۡ عَنِ ٱلَّذِینَ یَخۡتَانُونَ أَنفُسَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ خَوَّانًا أَثِیمࣰا } "Do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, Allāh loves not one who is a habitually sinful deceiver." [Sūrah An-Nisāʾ: 107] You yourself have established that Hussein Badr Ad-Din (founder of the Houthis) commits heinous acts, such as burying a dog and saying, "Stone her; this is Aishah who did not have her prescribed penalty applied on her (i.e. They accuse her of adultery)" Yet you defend him, claiming he is unaware. This is despite the fact that the man studied in Iran and has likely earned a master's degree. How can he still be described as ignorant? You try to soften your stance toward the Rafidha, appease them, and weaken before them—those who should be faced with firmness. Meanwhile, you act harshly toward us. You show strength against the people of the Da’wah, while showing weakness in confronting the Rafidha. The same people whose corrupt beliefs, extreme tyranny, grave violations, transgressions, shedding of blood, banditry, and other calamities are well-known to you. Despite this, you act harshly toward us, towards this centre which you studied in, and against those who are striving in Da’wah, teaching and addressing matters in a way which you have not done so." ____ I highly recommend listening to the full advice, which you can access here ⤵️ https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1055
