Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it prescribed for me to debate the people of innovation, such as the Jahmiyyah and others, through correspondence on social media?
Answer:
This requires a scholar who is deeply versed. Debating them and responding to them requires a deeply versed scholar. As for the beginner in the pursuit of knowledge, whose knowledge is little, he should not engage with them. Then he will be unable to respond to them, and they will triumph over him. Be careful. Yes, do not enter into something from which you do not know how to exit. Yes.
