Ibn Taymiyya’s Fat?w? against the Nu?ayr?-?Alaw? Sect

The view of Sunn? scholars about minorities and sects in the medieval Muslim world has a crucial influence on their actual image in the Middle East. While ????sm is considered a fifth school (ma?hab ) in Islam today, Sunni authorities have never accepted such sects as Bah???s, Druzes and Nu?ayr?-?Alaw?s as part of Islam. This rejection of what Sunn?s consider as heretical sects contributed to their persecution and isolation, which lasted until the twentieth century.
