Mawlana Yaseen Akhtar wrote that rifd grew under the radar because our ulama were busy tackling wahabis for a hundred years. People like Tahir ul did a lot of damage too.
I don't know why closet Shia are so rampant in Pakistan. Are they as rampant in Turkey or Malaysia? I can understand some aspects like the public being ignorant and swayed by emotional rhetoric by the likes of hanif qureshi. But still... There seems to be a lot of this going on there unless there's a selection bias due to my engagement with the YouTube algorithm.
Anyone who finds a problem with khata ijtihadi being attributed to ahl al-bayt has some part of rifd in him. Read it again.
The greatest ever commentator on Bukhari, the hadith master Imam ibn Hajar Asqalani writes in his Fath al-Bari: 'Sayyidah Fatimah رضي الله عنها thought the hadith of inheritance was limited to some types of inheritance and that she was still entitled some other part of inheritance. Whereas, the opinion of Abu Bakr, Umar and other sahabah رضي الله عنهم was that it concerns all inheritance.' (Hadith #3094) --- Everyone expect shiah are agreed that the decision of Abu Bakr Siddiq was correct. There is ijma'a on this. Sunnis have never ostracised or anathematised those who said Lady Fatimah made incorrect ijtihad. Asqalani came way before Ashraf Jalali! This is why we say again to Sunnis who lack perspicuity of thought: you're not thinking straight. It's not rocket science. Sayyidah was a companion and according to one opinion, made an error of ijtihad. Don't complicate it. We're not shiah. And to closet shiah: you're shiah anyway. So you'll obviously see blasphemy in this. Because that's the shiah religion. By deeming it kufr/blasphemy, you've only exposed yourselves as rafidis.
Why is it that every person who considers tafdilis as Sunni also believes attribution of khata is blasphemy? See the link? That's clear proof this is a problem of rifd.
Have you stopped to think, Mufti Ashraf Asif Jalali said mutlaq khata because the passage he was reading from and explaining also says it without a qualifier. That's all. So automatically, a person who is teaching a book to a live audience, his mind will repeat what the book says. It's just a reflex. And if you have not seen khata mentioned without a qualifier in books, you need to start reading up. You're making noise over nothing. That is, if it can be said Adam عليه السلام did khata and it's not a problem, it can only be an issue with Fatimah رضي الله عنها if you've been bitten by the rafidi bug. Listen, thickos. There are two positions on Fadak: one, that ijtihad took place. Two, there was no ijtihad. Both are valid. If you say there was no ijtihad, fine. The problem begins when you malign the ijtihad camp and expose your ignorance. Meaning, we don't have a problem with you if you say there was no ijtihad. It's YOU who is causing problems by declaring a valid opinion to be blasphemy and kufr. Bloody thickheads.
We will not be browbeaten by shiah or their little brothers in the closet. They have been using the emotional card for four years now: 'astaghfirullah! How dare they attribute khata to the daughter of RasulAllah ﷺ!' Sit down, rafidi. We have nothing to do with your baseless religion in which ahl al-bayt are raised above prophets. We aren't governed by your baseless principles. We are Ahl al-Sunnah. We have 1400 years of scholarly heritage. If you think you can come along and insert your crappy ideology within us, think again. I'm gonna repeat again: there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with saying a member of ahl al-bayt did khata. Go cry a river.
I'm receiving messages about the khata issue so I'm going to try to explain it briefly. 1. Fadak was a piece of land that Muslims were given by the Jews after Khaybar. It was governed by RasulAllah ﷺ. 2. When RasulAllah ﷺ left this world, his daughter, Sayyidah Fatimah رضي الله عنها went to claim her share of inheritance because, 3. The Quran says about inheritance: Allah commands you regarding your children: the share of the male will be twice that of the female. 4. Sayyidah Fatimah did ijtihad and concluded that this verse is general and includes everyone. 5. But this verse excludes RasulAllah ﷺ and is for the ummah because, 6. There is a hadith of RasulAllah ﷺ that says prophets don't leave behind any monetary inheritance. 7. It is said Lady Fatimah knew this hadith but her ijtihad was that it excludes some inheritance but not all of it. Therefore, she requested her share of Fadak. Or maybe she didn't know of this particular hadith. 8. Lady Fatimah requested the inheritance of Fadak but the caliph, Abu Bakr Siddiq رضي الله عنه informed her of the hadith OR he explained that it includes all inheritance. 9. So it can be said that Lady Fatimah made a mistake in judgement, khata ijtihadi. 10. There are numerous instances where sahabah and ahl al-bayt made ijtihad and it is not a sin for the one who was mistaken, such as Amīr Mu'āwiyah رضي الله عنه in the disagreements with Mawla Ali رضي الله عنه. 11. Notice, we say khata ijtihadi to defend Amīr Mu'āwiyah then how can the same thing become blasphemy for Lady Fatimah? 12. The decision of Abu Bakr Siddiq رضي الله عنه was most certainly correct and there is unanimous agreement upon it. Even during the caliphate of Mawla Ali رضي الله عنه, Fadak remained as it was during the era of the first three caliphs. That is an emphatic evidence there was no wrongdoing. 13. If someone opines Lady Fatimah didn't make any ijtihad, that is fine. But at the same time, if, based on evidence, someone concludes she made ijtihad and made an error, that isn't problematic either. 14. In Sunni usul, principles, attribution of khata ijtihadi is not blasphemy. It is only shiah/rawafid who believe it impossible for khata ijtihadi to occur for ahl al-bayt.
Mufti Rashid sahib got this one wrong. Rafidis deny all types of khata from ahl al-bayt: sins and mistakes in ijtihad. Pir Mihr Ali wrote about ANY TYPE OF KHATA being possible because that is what rafidis deny. Rafidis claim the Verse of Purification means ahl al-bayt can't commit either khata of masiyat or khata of ijtihad. But the bottom line still remains: it is not blasphemy to say revered persons made khata in ijtihad.
People only make daft statements because they don't understand the aqidah of Ahl al-Sunnah and/or don't read. What happened 4-5 years ago in Pakistan was that a shiah lady attacked our master Abu Bakr Siddiq رضي الله عنه for his decision on Fadak. Mufti Ashraf Asif Jalali responded with a 7 hour long lecture and said: it is possible for Lady Fatimah رضي الله عنها to make an error of judgement and in the matter of Fadak, she did err momentarily. Closet shiah lost their minds because in their shiah ideology, to attribute khata is blasphemy. In Sunni theology, it isn't. We can present numerous examples where khata is attributed to revered persons. Simple.
