Dealing with the Person of Religious Innovation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person who has a bid'ah (religious innovation) says: Shaykh, what is the standard for dealing with the person of bid'ah, and is it permissible for me to pray behind him?
Answer:
The person of bid'ah must be advised; he must be advised, because every bid'ah is misguidance. So he is advised and encouraged to abandon the bid'ah and follow the Sunnah. If he accepts, that is fine; otherwise, he is not to be kept in one's company, lest he influence his companion. Yes.
