Meeting with the followers of deviant sects against the enemies

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: He says: Is it permissible for the people of the Sunnah and the community to meet with the followers of deviant sects under the pretext of strengthening the Muslims against their enemies, who are non-Muslims?

Answer:
This varies. If the dissenters’ disagreement has not reached the level of disbelief, it has not reached the level of disbelief, but is less than that, then they meet with them, because they are all Muslims, all Muslims, even if they differ on some matters, but their disagreement does not reach the level of disbelief. These are Muslims, and one meets with them, and they are one community, with sincere advice, with sincere advice and teaching, and spreading the correct teaching, so that perhaps they will return to the truth. But if the matter has reached the level of disbelief, then we do not meet with disbelievers, we do not meet with disbelievers, and they are our enemies, even if they claim affiliation to us, and mere affiliation is not sufficient. The disbeliever is an enemy to the Muslim, so we do not meet with our enemies. But if the disagreement does not reach the level of disbelief, but is rather open sinfulness or disobedience, then we meet with them, but with sincere advice and with clarification, so that perhaps Allah will guide whom He wills among them. Yes.
