Question:
We pray continuously. Allahu Akbar. I know from a means. Hmm. Maybe one more time. It will be upon. After a third of an hour, if Allah wills. I have, by Allah, an appointment that you are coming to. We are advancing the time a little, meaning, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you. He says: If a person commits several errors but has some good in him, he explicitly named the writer Sayyid Qutb, does that mean we say about him that he is an innovator or a person of innovation?
Answer:
We do not seek out people; rather, we seek the truth. So, whoever has the truth, we support and help him, and whoever has an error, we leave his error and do not target his person. Yes.
The presenter:
