Abdullah bin Jabrain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abdullah bin Jabrain is a leading Sunni cleric in Saudi Arabia and a member of the Senior Clerics Association.[1]

Commenting in Shiites, Jabrain said, "Some people say that the rejectionists are Muslims because they believe in God and his prophet, pray and fast. But I say they are heretics. They are the most vicious enemy of Muslims, who should be wary oft their plots. They should be boycotted and expelled so that Muslims spared their evil."[1]

Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the political leader of Iraqi Shiites, once referred to Jabrain as an "evil cleric."[2] Ali al-Sistani, the religious leader of Iraqi Shiites, has also criticized Jabrain, accusing him of exacerbating tensions between Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq.[3]
