Warning Against Deviant Groups in the Friday Sermon

Question:
The second question. May Allah reward you. The second question, our Shaykh: I am at the mosque, and some of the mosque congregation are influenced by some deviant groups. Is it correct to warn against some of these groups by quoting scholars from the pulpit, or is it not?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. Encourage them to stick to the Muslim community, to hold fast to the Book and the Sunnah, and to remain with the Muslims in this country, not to deviate from them, and to abandon the deviant and contradictory ideas that are spread in public and private media. A person should warn against these and stay away from them, because most of it is misguidance, leading astray, lying, and sowing fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). They should avoid these means, such as the internet and others, mobile phones, and the newly invented means through which ideas are spread, through which bid'ah (religious innovations), newly invented matters, and evils that divide the Ummah (the Muslim community) are spread, which incite fitnah and the splitting of the group. They should beware of these matters. Mention this in the Friday sermon. May Allah reward you. The preachers should pay attention to this matter and warn people against what misleads them from the correct path and from the methodology of the group and what this country is upon, this country, and praise be to Allah.
A Muslim group upon the Book and the Sunnah and the tawhid (the oneness of Allah) of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So they are upon a sound methodology. Therefore, we do not bring in ideas, schools of thought, or creeds from outside this country. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Yes. Please proceed. Yes.
