Summary
Followers of the Shia school are not ruled to be disbelievers because they recite the Shahadah and perform the practices of other Muslims. The answer cites the principle of Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari that people of the qibla are not declared disbelievers for sins they commit. However, believing that the existing Quran is incomplete or openly reviling the companions of the Prophet are matters that can lead to disbelief.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pengikut mazhab Syiah tidak dihukum sebagai kafir kerana mereka tetap mengucap Syahadah dan melakukan segala amalan seperti Muslim yang lain.
