Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am from one of the countries. If I speak about the religions of disbelief, such as socialism, Ba'athism, and Quburiyyah, and warn against them because they confuse people about the religion, saying, "We are brothers in Islam," my relatives tell me, "Do not speak about them, be silent, and teach people about prayer, zakah, and other things." What is my duty toward my relatives?
Answer:
You must do what you are able to,[Al-Baqarah 2:286], but do not compromise on the creed of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala' wa al-bara'). You must hate the disbelievers and be hostile to them. As for manifesting this, it is according to your ability. If you are unable to do so, or if it would cause you greater harm, then you wait for another opportunity. Yes.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
