Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for us to greet the callers to bid'ah?
Answer:
If their bid'ah entails disbelief (kufr), then do not greet them. But if their bid'ah is less than disbelief, then if boycotting them serves as a deterrent for them, boycott them. If it does not serve as a deterrent for them, greet them, enjoin them to abandon the bid'ah, and clarify it to them. Yes.
