Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to sit with the people of innovation who call to it?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sit with the people of innovation because it affects the one sitting with them. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:68] Therefore, it is not permissible to sit with the people who are wrongdoers, and the innovators are among the wrongdoers; rather, they are the most severe of the wrongdoers. Therefore, it is not permissible to sit with them or keep them as companions, because they influence those who sit with them and their companions.
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to sit with the people of innovation who call to it?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sit with the people of innovation because it affects the one sitting with them. Allah the Exalted said:
And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
