Condemning Sins Other Than Innovations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Many preachers frequently condemn sins unjustly, but they do not address the condemnation of religious innovations (bid'ah). Is this methodology correct?
Answer:
One should condemn religious innovations and condemn sins. He should not neglect one thing and leave another. If he has the capacity and the knowledge to condemn religious innovations, that is the first thing, and then sins. He should not remain silent about anything that contradicts the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
