Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If one of them calls for aid other than to Allah in front of me, is he a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) and should I treat him as I treat the mushrikin, or should I excuse him on the grounds that these phrases have become attached to the tongues of the common people?
Answer:
No, this is a false statement and these are whispers. Leave this ta'wil (figurative interpretation) and the seeking of excuses for them. But deny it to them, explain it to them, and call them to Allah, perhaps they will repent. As for excusing them or being gentle with them while they are in this state, it is not permissible. Yes, this is deception of them; you are leaving them as they are. Yes.
