Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We observe on some satellite channels debates between some of the people of the Sunnah and the Rafidah. Do these debates fall under the condemned debates?
Answer:
If these debates are conducted by scholars from the people of the Sunnah who know the Rafidah’s madhhab, its defects, and the disgraceful matters contained in it, then that is good, so that they may clarify their misguidance to the people. But if the one who enters into it with them has no knowledge, only zeal and a love for good, but no knowledge, then that is not suitable.
Because they may overcome him, and it will become a deficiency for the people of the Sunnah. The important thing is that no one enters into it with them except one who has knowledge, insight, and wisdom in refuting them. Yes.
And the matter today is not like when two people used to debate in the past, not in a gathering, and no one knew about them. The matter now is public, in the open, before the whole world. The whole world hears and sees. No one should enter this arena except one who has scientific and intellectual readiness and caution. Yes.
