Some of the Sufis among us are only seen at condolence gatherings; is it permissible for us to attend these places in order to call them to the truth?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We have some Sufis among the people of the graves who commit shirk (associating partners with Allah), bid'ah (religious innovations), and superstitions. When we want to call them to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the Sunnah, they avoid our gatherings, claiming that we are Wahhabis. However, they do attend condolence gatherings. Is it permissible for us to call these people to tawhid and the Sunnah in these places?

Answer:
Take them with leniency, take them with leniency and gentleness. Perhaps Allah will guide them. Also, take them with encouragement. Do not attack them and say, "You are disbelievers" and "You are polytheists." Take them step by step, with calmness, wisdom, and gentleness, so that perhaps Allah will guide them. Yes.
