Re: Are there "hybrid" sects between Sunni and Shia?
Intially there was no clear doctrinal difference between shias and sunnis until Imamaiyah doctrine became prevalent in the 2nd century hijrah.
today the closest sect u can find like this are the Zaydi [5ers] shias ...they are prominent only in yemen sadly
the mutazili also had beliefs which are a mixture of todays shias and sunnis beliefs
but they are extinct as well.
But its wrong to call them hybrid as these sects actually predated the some of the present fiqahs .....
