Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person knows some of the Sufis who call themselves callers, and they call to bid'ah (religious innovation). What is his position toward them? Does he hate them for the sake of Allah, or does he supplicate for their guidance?
Answer:
Supplicating for guidance is required, even for disbelievers; you supplicate to Allah to guide them. As for explaining the truth to them and calling them to Allah, it is obligatory if they are receptive. Explain it to them and clarify it for them, perhaps Allah will turn them back to the right path. If you explain it to them and they do not accept it, then isolate yourself from them and stay away from them. Yes.
