The Verdict (Fatwa) was issued by His Excellency Sheikh Mahmoud al-Akbar Chaltout, Imam responsible University of al-Azhar, the permission to follow the school of thought Twelver Shi'ites.
- His Eminence was asked:
Many people believe that a Muslim must necessarily follow one of four schools of thought that religious practice is correct. By cons (they believe) that the Twelver Shia school of thought is not one of them, nor the school Zaydyiah.
Does your Eminence is in agreement with this view, and it prohibits the school as Twelver Shia school of thought, for example?
- His Eminence replied:
1) Islam does A Muslim does not follow a particular Mad'hab (school of thought). We are saying that every Muslim has the right to follow one school of thought that has been properly reported and whose verdicts have been compiled into books. And anyone who follows the Madhaahib [schools of thought] can change from one school to another, and there will be no crime if (Muslim) and acting.
2) The school of thought Ja'fari, also known and called "Shi'a Ithna 'Ashari (Twelver Shi'ites) is a school of thought that is religiously correct in his Cult and can be followed in the same manner as other Sunni schools of thought.
Muslims must know something, they should refrain from unjust prejudice to any school of thought, since the religion of Allah and His Divine Law (Shari'ah) was never restricted to a very special school. The
Moujtahidoune (Twelver Shiites) are accepted by any Power of Allah, and it is permissible for a Muslim non-Moujtahid to follow and agree with their teachings, whether in worship (Ibadat) or transactions (Mou'amilat).
Signed, Sheikh Mahmoud Chaltout.
