To answer to seeking advice concerning Baha’ism, Ayatollah Alawi Gorgani has written:

In the name of the Most High

The Baha’is are unclean. It is not allowable to have relationships with the Baha’is when it is unnecessary. Transacting with the ruler’s permit. The Baha’is are infidels. Baha’ism is a Colonial cult made to confront against the real Shiism. There are differences among Babism, Baha’ism and Sheikhism.
