Question
Someone said that the Ahlus Sunnah also practise taqiyah as the Shias do. They call it tawriya. Is this claim valid?
Answer
It is baseless. Tawriyah is an ambiguous statement. In tawriyah, beliefs are not concealed as in Taqiyah. Shiahs conceal their kufr to deceive Muslims. The objective of Tawriyah is to prevent one from speaking a blatant lie. No one's right is usurped and no kufr is hidden. The objective of Taqiyah is to deceive and entrap the Ahlus Sunnah.
