what should be the aqeedah of Ahle sunnah about Yazeed ibn Muaavia (R.A)?

Aqeedah (beliefs) are regarding those matters mentioned in the Qur'aan and%0D%0AAhaadith. Since Yazeed is not mentioned in the Qur'aan, nor in the Ahaadith,%0D%0Awe are not required to have any Aqeedah regarding him. Insha Allah, we will%0D%0Anot be questioned about him on the day of Qiyaamat.%0D%0A%0D%0AYour friend does not have to change his name. To say that a person is a%0D%0AJannati requires sound proof. There is no proof to state that Yazeed is a%0D%0AJannati. We, thus, leave his affair to Allah Ta'ala.%0D%0A%0D%0AMerely being an Ameer of the army is not sufficient for a person to be a%0D%0AJannati. Only Allah Ta'ala knows who he has accepted to be a Jannati. For us%0D%0Ato say that a person is a Jannati, we have to have some Aayaat or Hadith to%0D%0Asupport this. There is no such Hadith regarding Yazeed, hence, we adopt%0D%0Asilence.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe term, 'Radhiallaahu Anhu' is generally used for the Sabaaha. Since%0D%0AYazeed was not a Sahaabi, this term should not be used. However, if somebody%0D%0Adoes ut it, it will not be sinful. As far as cursing Yazeed, what benefit is%0D%0Athere in it? It is neither Fardh, Waajib, Sunnah or even Mustahabb to curse%0D%0Ahim. If on the other hand he is not worthy of this curse, the curse will%0D%0Areturn to the one cursing. Thus, the issue of cursing requires absolute%0D%0Aprecaution. The method of our senior Ulama is to abstain from cursing him.%0D%0A(Fataawa Mahmoodiya vol.20 pg.77; Fataawa Rashidiyya pg.76)%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai
