Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to accept the invitation of a man known for backbiting the scholars of the Sunnah and mocking them?
Answer:
And is his invitation accepted on the basis of the right of Islam? You must advise him. If he refrains from that and repents, you accept his invitation. But if he does not repent and continues, you do not accept it, because your acceptance is encouragement of Allah in what he is doing and approval of Allah in what he is doing. Yes.
