Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
So the Shaykh said, may Allah honor you, is it permissible for me to sit with my sister's husband in order to convince him that this pulpit is wrong and explain it to him?
Answer:
Fine, this is the meaning of calling to Allah: that you sit with an innovator or with a polytheist, call him to Allah, and explain it to him. This is a good thing; this is the meaning of calling to Allah the Exalted. But on the condition that you have knowledge to clarify his error to him and refute his doubts and arguments. As for the person who has no knowledge, he does not enter into argument with these people. Yes.
