Condolences to the Innovators

Q1: A questioner says: There is a group of Ismailis among us, some of whom are commoners and some are jurists. If one of them passes away, is it permissible for us to console them in their grief, to mix with them, and to sit with them? What is the ruling on this? Knowing that some of them are relatives of ours.
A1: It is obligatory for the Muslim to call his relatives, neighbors, and those with whom he associates to Allah, and to warn them against the paths of misguidance with wisdom and good exhortation. The caller mixes with those he calls, honors them, and attends their social occasions if he sees that it is in the interest of the call and if his attendance does not result in affirming the wrong or lead to harm.
Q3: A questioner says: I am an employee in one of the government departments, and I have colleagues from some misguided groups. We may see on the television screen some scholars who prepare religious programs, and these colleagues may attack them and speak in a manner that is not befitting them. What is obligatory for me, and how should I deal with them? Knowing that I get agitated and I have no authority over them except to fight and curse them. What should I do?
A3: If you hear that from them, and if you are able to determine that advice will benefit them, then do so. And if you determine that it will only increase their stubbornness and cursing, then refrain from it.
