Are the present day groups from the 72 sects?
Question:
Do these groups enter into the seventy-two sects that are headed towards destruction?
Answer:
Yes. Everyone who opposes Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah from amongst those who associate themselves to Islam in the arena of da'wah, or aqidah, or anything from the pillars of Iman, then such ones enter into the seventy-two sects and the threat (of Hellfire) encompasses them. He will be censured and punished to the extent of his opposition.
