For the information of the radio mufti of channel "islam", Ahsanul Fataawa states:

"If someone regards Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) superior to all the Sahaabah, then o­nly o­n account of this belief, he will not be a kaafir. But Shiahs nowadays, do not subscribe to o­nly this (baatil) belief. There is no doubt in their beliefs of kufr. Thus, the Qur'aan having been interpolated is an accepted and a well-publicised belief by them."

Hadhrat Mufti Rashid Ahmad (Rahmatullah alayh), the author of Ahsanul Fataawa, categorically proclaims Shiahs of the present age kaafir of the Zindeeq category. Their slaughtered animals are haraam. Nikah with them is not valid.

The radio mufti should consult Ahsanul Fataawa o­n all important issues, not o­nly for the obtainal of a permissible view for coke. The Deen should not be trifled with. Ahsanul Fataawa, we are sure, was not compiled for citing o­nly the coke mas'alah. The mufti may consume his litres of coke with relish, but he should not seek Shar'i sanction for his whims and fancies.
