Debunking the lie that only "Takfiris, Salafis, Wahhabis, Boogeyman" etc. make Takfir on the Rafidah 12er sect. Here a list including top scholars of the four madhabs (i.e. all of them were born before the grandfather of Ibn Abdil-Wahhab was even born, so the Wahhabi excuse won't work here), enjoy the list and know O Sunni that the true Ahl Al-Sunnah have nothing but hatred for the Rafidah Kuffar (except those among them who are living in peace with the Sunnah and open for the truth). Ameen the Rafidi member of this board stated:
They all believe that Fiqah e Jafferia is just the same as any other Fiqah. And this is what the Ahle Sunnah scholars say as well.
Let rock solid evidences speak for themselves, you can be the judge dear reader (note: These are the IMAMS of the Madhabs, some random contemp. sell outs can't overwrite their judgements):
The Takfir of the Shafi'i scholars on the Rafidah:
Abu ʿAbdillah Muhammad ibn Idris Al-Shafi‘i
The Imam of the Shafi'i Madhab himself (who was known for his love of the Ahl Al-Bayt, to the extent that some accused him of Rafd) said in regards to the Rafidah (Rafidis normally only quote one of the poems attributed to him, that they totally misunderstand):
الإمام الشافعي رحمه الله
لم أر أحداً من أهل الأهواء أشهد بالزور من الرافضة - الخطيب في الكفاية والسوطي.
Imam Al-Shafi3i - may Allah have mercy upon him - said: "I have not seen
among the heretics a people more famous for falsehood
than the Rafidah." [narrated by Al-Khatib Al-Baghdadi/Al-Kifayah]
It is also been reported from the
noble Sunni, Imam Al-Shafi'i:
حدثنا إبراهيم بن زياد الابلي، سمعت البويطي يقول: سألت الشافعي: أصلي خلف الرافضي ؟ قال: لا تصل خلف الرافضي، ولا القدري، ولا المرجئ.
قلت: صفهم لنا.
قال: من قال: الايمان قول، فهو مرجئ، ومن قال: إن أبا بكر وعمر ليسا بإمامين، فهو رافضي، ومن جعل المشيئة إلى نفسه، فهو قدري
Yusuf ibn Yahya al-Buwayti said, ‘I asked al-Shaf’i (may Allah have mercy on him), ‘
Can I pray behind a Rafidi?’ He said, ‘
Do not pray behind the Rafidi, nor the Qadari, nor the Murjiyi’. I said, ‘describe them to me.’ He said, `The one who says that Iman is statement [only], then he is Murjiyi`.
And whosoever says that Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) are not the two imams, then he is a Rafidi. And whosoever places the Will for himself, he is Qadari.

http://islamport.com/d/1/trj/1/161/3754.htmlImam Abu Saad Sam'ani al-Shafi'i (d: 498H / may Allah have mercy on him) has quoted ijma (consensus)
regarding the takfir of Imami Shi'as in his Kitab-al-Ansab.
الحافظ البارع العلامه تاج الاسلام المجتهد ثقه
(Tazkira, 4:107)
Imam Dhahabi (may Allah have mercy on him
) has praised him in these words, He writes,
لأنساب للسمعاني - (ج 3 / ص 188)
واجتمعت الامة على تكفير الامامية لانهم يعتقدون تضليل الصحابة وينكرون إجماعهم وينسبونهم إلى مالا يليق بهم
"The Ummah has a consensus (ijma)
on the takfir of the Imamiyyah, because they believe the Companions (Sahabah) are misguided, they reject their consensus and they attribute to them that which does not befit them.”
(Al-Ansab, 3:188)
Imam Abu Na'im Al-Asbahani (Isfahani) Al-Shafi'i
Another giant of the Shafi'i Madhab (half of Egypt, parts of Iraq, Sham, all of east Africa i.e. Somalia, Eritrea, Sudanis, Muslims from Ethiopia etc.), all of Malaysia and Indonesia are Shafi'is, so listen up my Shafi'i brothers). This Persian Shafi'i scholar from Iran, Isfahan (in Arabic Asbahan)
Abu Na'im Al-Asbahani Al-Shafi'i wrote a whole book calling the Twelvers by their real name and refuting the core of their Madhab!
al-Imamah wal-Radd 'ala al-Rafidhah or Tathbet al-Imamah wa Tarteeb al-Khilafah by abu Na'eem al-Asbahani (d.430h), last print in 1407 hijri in Madinah.

A contemp. Shafi'i scholar (Shafi'i though) doing what all true Sunni scholars did: Rejecting Shiism as a valid Madhab (let alone attributing it to the Ahl Al-Bayt) and refuting it's core. Here three books by Shaykh Abdel-Malik bin `Abdul-Rahman Al-Shafi'i, click to read:

http://twelvershia.net/2013/04/05/shia-praying-in-the-mosques-of-the-muslims-a-sign-of-hope-or-hopelessness/of course there are TONS of other big gun Shafi'i scholars too who considered the Rafidah kuffar (or at least their religion as a kufri religioN), but we leave it by what we have quoted so far and move on to the big guns of the Malikis (almost the entire Gulf - except Saudi, all of north Africa and western Africa is Maliki, so listen up my Maliki brothers and sisters):
The Takfir of the Maliki scholars on the Rafidah:
The Verdict of Imam Malik Ibn Anas, the Imam of all Malikis
Hafiz ibn Hajar Makki
Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in Al-Sawaiq al-Muhriqah (a whole book in refutation of the Rafidah!), p.294,
ومن هذه الآية أخذ الإمام مالك في رواية عنه بكفر الروافض الذين يبغضون الصحابة قال لأن الصحابة يغيظونهم ومن غاظه الصحابة فهو كافر.
وهو مأخذ حسن يشهد له ظاهر الآية ومن ثم وافقه الشافعي رضي الله تعالى عنهما في قوله بكفرهم ووافقه أيضا جماعه من الأئمة
"And from this verse ("Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him ..."), Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him), as reported from him, had deduced
the verdict of kufr of Rawafid as they show hatred towards the Sahabah. He further states because the Sahabah causes them anger and every individual who is angered by the Sahabah is a kafir. This extraction is excellent as the verse in itself bears testimony to it.
Therefore Imam Shafi (may Allah have mercy on him) has agreed with him (Imam Malik) on the verdict of declaring them [Rawafid] kafir and a large group of Imams agreed with him too."

Imam Qurtubi
Al-Maliki (d: 671H / may Allah have mercy on him) comments after producing the fatwa of Imam Malik,
لقد أحسن مالك في مقالته وأصاب في تأويله. فمن نقص واحداً منهم أو طعن عليه في روايته فقد ردّ على الله رَبِّ العالمين، وأبطل شرائع المسلمين
"Indeed, Malik did well in his statement and he reached the correct explanation. So whoever belittles a single one of them or reviles him in his narration, then he has rejected Allah, the Lord of the worlds and he has nullified the Shari'ah of the Muslims.” (Tafsir Qurtubi, 16:297)
This fatwa of Imam Malik was also quoted by:
1. Imam Al-Khilaal
2. Hafidh Ibn Kathir
Al-Shafi'i3. Imam Sayyid Alusi
Al-Hanafi4. Hafidh ibn Taymiyyah
Al-Hanbali5. Qadi 'Iyad
Al-Maliki6. 'Allamah Abu Na'im Al-Asbahani
Al-Shafi'iand others (may Allah have mercy on them).
The Takfir of the Hanafi scholars on the Rafidah:
Half of the Muslim Ummah are Shafi'is. Many Arabs (Iraqis, Egyptians, Shamis) and basically the whole sub-continent and even Persian Sunnis of Iran (in Khorassan) and in Afghanistan (Persian Khorassani Tajiki Sunnis and Pashtus etc.)
The Verdict of Imam Abu Hanafi, the Imam of all Hanafis on the Rafidah
Ibn Hajr says:
[..] the Hanafi scholars condemned one with kufr who denies (views it as invalid) the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Omar (may Allah be pleased with them).
This ruling is mentioned in their books with detail as it is mentioned in Al-Asl by Imam Muhammad bin al-Hassan al-Shaybani (may Allah have mercy upon him).
It is obvious that they have inherited it from their Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah be pleased with him) and he knows more about the Rawafid as he is from Kufa and Kufa was the origin and headquarter of the Rawafid. Among the Rawafid, there are many groups, some must be condemned with kufr while some not. So, when Imam Abu Hanifah regards the denier of caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as kafir, so one who curses him will necessarily be called kafir except that if one makes some difference.

ruling of Imami Shias is that of murtads (apostates)."
Verdict of Imam Alusi Al-HanafiMufti of Baghdad, Imam Sayyid Shihab al-Din Alusi (may Allah have mercy on him), writes regarding Ithna 'Ashariyyah (Twelvers),
فكفرّهم معظم علماء ما وراء النهر، [وحكم بإباحة دمائهم وأموالهم وفروج نسائهم] ،حيث أنهم يسبون الصحابة رضي الله تعالى عنهم، لاسيما الشيخين رضي الله تعالى عنهما، ...، وينكرون صحة خلافة الصديق رضي الله تعالى عنه، ويقذفون عائشة أم المؤمنين رضي الله تعالى عنها بما برأها الله تعالى منه، ويفضلون بأسرهم عليا كرم الله تعالى وجهه على الملائكة عليهم السلام، وعلى غير أولي العزم من المرسلين، ومنهم من يفضله عليهم ما عدا نبينا ، ويحتجون على التفضيل بحجج أوهن من بيت العنكبوت، سنذكرها مع ردها إن شاء الله تعالى، ويجحدون سلامة القرآن من الزيادة والنقص.
“So the
majority scholar of Mawara' al-Nahr (Transoxiana)
have declared them kafir [...]; since they abuse the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them) especially Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna 'Omar (may Allah be pleased with them)... And, they deny the legitimacy of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr’s caliphate and accuse Sayyidah 'Aishah, the mother of believers (may Allah be pleased with her), with a sin from which Allah acquitted her. They regard Sayyiduna 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) as superior to all angels and non-resolute prophets [Five Prophets], while some of them regard him superior to all except our Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). And in this regard, they argue with evidence and arguments weaker than the house of spider. We shall mention them along with their refutations, Allah willing. Also, they deny that the Qur'an is safe from every addition and distortion."
(Nahj al-Salamah ila Mubahith al-Imamah, p.30)
(Fatawa 'Azizi, 358)
Verdict of 'Allamah Abu Sa'ud as transmitted by one of the giants of the Hanafis themselves:
Following is the fatwa of Shaykh al-Islam of Ottoman Empire, Allamah Abu Sa'ud, as quoted by 'Allamah ibn 'Abidin Al-Hanafi (a Hanafi and staunch opponent of the movement of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abdel-Wahhab) in his Rasa'il.
أفتى العلامة أبو السعود لما سئل عن الشيعة أيحل قتالهم وهل يكون المقتول منا شهيدا مع أنهم يدعون أن رئيسهم من آل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكيف يجوز قتالهم وهم يقولون لا أله إلا الله: أن قتالهم جهاد أكبر والمقتول منا في المعركة شهيد وأنهم باغون في الخروج عن طاعة الإمام وكافرون من وجوه كثيرة، وإنهم خارجون عن الثلاث وسبعين فرقة من الفرق الإسلامية لأنهم اخترعوا كفرا وضلالا مركبا من أهواء الفرق المذكورة وإن كفرهم لا يستمر على وتيرة واحدة بل يتزايد شيئا فشيئا...فلذا أجمع علماء الأعصار على إباحة فتلهم وإن من شك في كفرهم كان كافرا فعند الإمام الأعظم وسفيان الثوري والاوزاعي أنهم إذا تابوا ورجعوا عن كفرهم إلى الإسلام نجوا من القتل ويرجى العفو كسائر الكفار إذا تابوا، أما عند مالك والشافعي وأحمد بن حنبل وليث بن سعد وسائر العلماء العظام فلا تقبل توبتهم ولا يعتبر إسلامهم ويقتلون حدا
"Someone asked 'Allamah Abu Sa'ud about the Shia whether it was permissible to fight with them and will our people killed be regarded as martyrs as
they claim that their leader is from the progeny of Rasul Allah and how is it permissible when they recite the kalima 'la ilaha ilal lahu'. He answered by giving the following fatwa, 'fighting against them
is regarded as Jihad Akbar and those who are killed in battle against them are declared Shuhada (martyrs).
They are renegades against the Imam and are kafir because of many reasons. They are not included in the seventy three groups [of Islam]. They have openly innovated many acts of kufr and falsehood in following their whims and fancies.
The decision of their kufr is not based on one issue but daily it increases [...]
(Rasa'il ibn 'Abidin, 1:368:369)
The Hanbali scholars' verdict on the Rafidah
As for the Hanaabilah, I guess you can imagine what the likes of Imam Ahmad and Imam Al-Barbahari said about the Rafidah.
The verdict of mam Ahmad Ibn Hanbali, the Imam of the Hanaabilah
أخبرني يوسف بن موسى موسى أن أبا عبدالله سئل وأخبرني علي بن عبدالصمد قال سألت أحمد بن حنبل عن جار لنا رافضي يسلم علي أرد عليه قال لا -
"Yusuf bin Musa mentions that Abu 'Abd Allah was asked - this was mentioned to me by Ali bin 'Abd al-Samad - He replied I asked Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal concerning a Rafidi neighbor who greats me , should I answer his Salam? He replied 'No'."
(Sunnah lil-Khilaal, 3:493)
- وأخبرني عبدالملك بن عبدالحميد قال سمعت أبا عبدالله قال من شتم أخاف عليه الكفر مثل الروافض ثم قال من شتم أصحاب النبي لا نأمن أن يكون قد مرق عن الدين
"Imam al-Khilaal said: 'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Abd al-Hamid informed me saying: I heard Abu 'Abd Allah [Imam Ahmad] say: 'Whosoever reviles the Companions, then I fear disbelief for him like the Rawafid'. Then he said, 'Whosoever reviles the Companions of the Prophet, then we do not believe he is safe from having rejected the Religion'.”
(Sunnah lil-Khilaal, 3:493)
