Assalam.. Are all Shias non muslims?
Answer
(Fatwa: 108/L=108/L)
All the Shias are not kafir. Only the Shias are kafir who believe in the following:
- that Hazrat Gebriel (the angle) mistakenly put revelation to Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) instead of Hazrat Ali.
- who believe that Hazrat Ali (Razi Allahu anhu) was a god
- who blame on Hazrat Ayshah (Razi Allahu anha) of adultery
- who believe corruption in the Holy Quran
- and who deny the companionship (Suhbat) of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (Razi Allahu anhu) (Fatawa Shami, 4/135)
But the Shias who believe only that Hazrat Ali was better (Afzal) than other companions and do not have other Shiite beliefs then they will not be considered as kafir.
