Our Jewish, Christian & Shi'a brothers ???

Shaykh Nāsir alFahd was asked: what is the ruling on those who say: "our Jewish, Christian and shi'a brothers," as a form of da'wah. They interpret the verses in Sūrah ash-Shu'arā, and what is intended by that, as brothers in humanity? 

Answer: as for their statement considering the Jews and Christians as brothers; I have written a treatise before I came to prison regarding this in response against al-Qardawi. However, it did not get published because I did not finish it. This (interpretation) is corrupt, because brotherhood has 2 categories - there is no 3rd category for it.

1) Brotherhood in religion:
إنماالمؤمنون إخوة
Verily the believers are but brothers. [49:10]

2) Brotherhood with family:
وإلى عاد أخاهم هودا
And to the people of aad (we sent) their brother hūd. [11:50] 

Between them and those who they take as brothers; there is no unity in religion, nor common family ties. Thus, what kind of brotherhood do they claim?! Moreover, it is a negator of al-walaa and al-baraa. The evidences for that is too many to specify.

As for their evidences from Sūrah ash-Shu'arā, then it is an evidence against them. For two reasons:
 
1)That the statement of Allāh:
أخوهم نوح
Their brother Nūh [26:106]
أخاهم هودا
Their brother Hūd [11:50]
أخاهم صالحا
Their brother Sālih [7:73]
أخوهم لوط
Their brother Lūt [26:161] 

All of this is regarding brotherhood of common family ties. As the Arabs say to the tamīmī: "O brother from tameem." This is well-known in the Arabic language.

2) That Allāh said:
كذب أصحاب الأيكة المرسلين إذ قال لهم شعيب ألا تتقون 
The companions of the thicket denied the Messengers, when Shu'ayb said to them: "Will you not fear Allāh?" [26:176-177] 

Whilst He said in another place:
وإلى مدين أخاهم شعيبا
And to madyan (we sent) their brother Shu'ayb. [11:84]

Thus, look at the difference when He attributed them to their tribe, He said:
وإلى مدين أخاهم شعيبا
Their brother Shu'ayb. [11:84]

Then, when He attributed shirk to them:
أصحاب الأيكة
The companions of the thicket. [26:176] 

He disconnected the brotherhood and did not mention it. This is from the clearest proofs in responding against them. Thus, He disconnected the brotherhood of common family ties when He attributed shirk to them.

Then what about those who do not agree with them in religion, nor share any common family ties?!

And Allāh knows best!
