Question: Our Shaikh – (we ask that) Allaah preserve you – what do you advise the people of ‘Adan and other than this city (in Yemen) to do when faced with the Houthis (Shia)? (we ask that) Allaah preserve you.

Answer: (after praising Allaah and sending salaah and salaam upon the Messenger): To proceed: Indeed I advise all of the people of Yemen from all parts Yemen to make two or three battlefronts in two or three regions to fight against these Baatinee Raafidee (Shia) Houthis who are the worst enemies to Islam, the worst enemies to the noble Companions, and the worst enemies to Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah.

This repulsive group (the Shia Houthis) has not waged war against them except due to severe enmity towards Islaam and its people – the previous generations and the later ones. So I see it as being obligatory upon all of the people of Yemen – in Ibb, Ta’iz, ‘Adan, al-Baydhaa, and everywhere else – until even in San’aa, that they make some strong battlefronts to defeat this group and to annihilate them and exterminate their tribulations. And do not be easy with them, because this is from the greatest of jihads.

By Allaah, if the people of Yemen were to surrender to the Houthis, Islaam would be completely lost. And Yemen would certainly become like Iran or worse, showing enmity to the Companions, waging war against the Quran, waging war against the (Mothers of the Believers) wives of the noble Messenger – alayhe as-Salaatu was salaam.

So it is obligatory upon them to rise up with all seriousness and determination. And it is obligatory for them to utilize everything at their disposal (that is halaal) to destroy this tribulation (fitnah) and to raise the banner of the true Islam.

I ask Allaah to grant them success, and that He unites their word upon the truth, and that He unifies their ranks, and that He helps them and makes their word (laa ilaaha illaallaah – none deserves to be worshiped except for Allaah – who is God, The Supreme Creator) the uppermost. Indeed our Lord is the One Who answers the supplications. And the salaah and salaam be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions
