What is the ruling on offering condolences to Shiites on the killing of Hussein (may Allah be pleased with him) or saying "Ma'jooreen" to them?
Ahl al- are more entitled to al-Husayn and the Household of the Prophet than others, and the Rafidah have no special claim to that; rather, they exaggerate and innovate. What the Rafidah do on the day of Ashura, such as excessive glorification, holding mourning ceremonies, and wailing, is a reprehensible innovation that was not practiced by the pious predecessors. It was not part of the Prophet's guidance to commemorate the killing of anyone. The Rafidah have further increased their innovations by introducing grave abominations like beating chests and tearing garments. Based on this, it is not permissible to offer condolences to the Rafidah for the killing of al-Husayn, as it involves innovation, violates the Sunnah, and strengthens their falsehood. Nor is it permissible to say "May you be rewarded" to them.
