Question

Why are shia allowed in makkah

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

There are various sects amongst the Shia. Some of them are Muslims and others are non-Muslims.

The Shias are allowed into Makkah because the King, Salman Ibn Abdul Aziz and his deputy, Muhammad Bin Salman allow Shias into Makkah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
