He is Alawite which is a branch of Shiite. but does not seam to he be a 100% practicing shia Muslim because a practicing shia Muslim man does not allow his wife appear in public without Hijab.
Answer 2
Assad is an Alawite. Alawite Muslims which are called 3alawiyya (علوية) in Arabic are a prominent mystical religious group centered in Syria who are considered to be part of Twelver Shiite Islam. Alawites, similar to other Shiites have incredible reverence for Ali ibn Abi Talib (the fourth Rightly-Guided Caliph). Many non-Alawites have a accused the Alawites of elevating this reverence to level of prophethood or divinity, which would make Alawites non-Muslims. Correspondingly Alawites have consistently denied such remarks.
