Supporting Iran since they are 'defending Palestine'

· 27 Shawwal 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Regarding the current conflicts, is it correct for Muslims to support Iran since they're 'defending Palestine', even though they might be Shia?

Answer

When their track record has always been ambiguous, what they show and what they do is totally different, in fact taqiyah is their belief, then how can you trust them? When you cannot trust them then how can you support them?

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
