Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Many people say that those who respond to the people of innovation are the cause of division.
Answer:
Yes, indeed, division between the truth and falsehood. This is correct. We distinguish between the truth and falsehood, and between the people of truth and the people of misguidance. We will respond, and the scholars have responded. This is not for the sake of division; this is for the sake of gathering people upon the truth. Because people remaining in misguidance and in false statements is what divides the Muslims. As for clarifying the truth to them so that they may unite upon it, that is a call to unity, not a call to division. The call to division is to say: Do not respond to the people of falsehood. That is the call to division. If they had any sense. Yes.
