Q. What is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamā’ah on Yazīd bin Mu’āwiyah bin Abī Sufyān?
A. There is differing in it between the Ahlus-Sunnah, from them are those who see him as Kāfir (disbeliever), and from them are those who see him as a Fāsiq (open sinner), which is favored by al-Hāfidh adh-Dhahabī -and perhaps it is the right one in shā’ Allāh- that he is considered a Fāsiq, and his affair is with Allāh

ماهو موقف أهل السنة والجماعة من يزيد بن معاوية بن أبي سفيان؟
نص الإجابة:
مختلفٌ فيه بين أهل السنة ، فمنهم من يراه كافراً ، ومنهم من يراه فاسقاً ، والذي رجحه الحافظ الذهبي – ولعله الصواب إن شاء الله – أنه يعتبر فاسقاً ، وأمره إلى الله .
