Imam Khamenei’s Fatwa Against Insulting Sahaba فتوة السيد علي الخامنئي
We don’t insult companions, HOWEVER a respectful, intellectual, scientific research about their history is what the Shia of AhlulBayt(A) do.
So if you see any propaganda of crazy sheikhs swearing or using abusive language regarding the Prophet(S)’s companions then KNOW that he is NOT amongst the mainstream of Shia Islam.
Where is the reference of this Fatwa. If it is true -- it should be popularized and made public. I would like to ask author of this website to provide the authentic source of this fatwa.
In His Name, the Most High
Salaams
We have made the original source and the translation available in numerous places:

The sources are available on the links that I have provided above. You can quite easily verify them.
Also, Press TV are not in the habit of publicizing that which is not authentic, and they have a strong process that checks and double checks all the material they broadcast.
Also, the Mufti of al-Azhar, would not have responded and commented on the ruling of Imam Khamenei(HA) had there been any doubt in the ruling.
Insha Allah that helps.
With Salaams and Dua’s
