Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Yazeed: (reponse To Some Salfis’ Endeavors To Purify Him) It is not permissible to say Yazeed "(r)" In Fatawa Abdul Hai, the author states after condemning Yazeed, "one should not say Yazeed radhina or rahmathullah". Barelvi Ulema have deemed Yazeed a fasiq Ahmad Reza Barelvi in Irfan al Shariat stated: "There is an agreement amongst the Ahl'ul Sunnah that he was a fasiq and a fajir, the dispute is over whether he was a kaafir".

Shariat Mukhammad Majid 'Ali Shakir stated in Badh Shariat: "Some say 'Why should we discuss such a thing since he [Yazeed] was a King and he [Husayn] was also a King' - one who makes such comments {refusing to hold opinion on Yazeed and Husayn (as)] is accursed, a Kharijee, Nasibi and hell bound. The dispute is over whether he [Yazeed] was a kaafir. The madhab of Abu Hanifa stipulates that he was a fasiq and fajir, nor was he a kaafir nor a Muslim".

Deobandi Ulema have deemed Yazeed to be a fasiq Whilst Azam Tariq claims to reflect the views of the Deobandi Sect, it is worthy to note that the founder of Dar al Ulum Deoband, Muhammad Qasim Nanuthee stated in Qasim al Ulum: "Yazeed was a fasiq, he was irregular in Salat, committed Bidah and was Chief of the Nasibi". Ashraf 'Ali Thanvi in Fatawi stated: "Yazeed was a fasiq, there are different levels of fisq".

Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi in Fatawa said: "One should refrain from calling Yazeed a kaafir, but there is no objection to referring to him as a fasiq". In Shaheed ai Kerbala aur Yazeed, Deobandi scholar Muhammad Tayyib stated: "Yazeed was a fasiq and a fajir and there is absolute unanimity amongst the scholars on this point". Maulana Muhammad Shaafi in 'Imam Pak aur Yazeed Paleeth' stated: "Yazeed was not pious rather but was a fasiq, fajir, dhaalim and a drunkard".

Mulla 'Ali Qari in Sharh Shifa commenting on hadith that the Deen will be harmed by young men states: "The destruction of the Deen at the hands of a young man refers to Yazeed bin Mu'awiya who sent Muslim bin Uqba to pillage Madina" In 'Siraaj Muneera', Allamah 'Ali bin Ahmad also stated that the hadith refers to Yazeed. The same comment can also be located in Ashiaath al Lamaat by al Muhaddith Shah Abdul Haq Dehlavi.
