The Ruling on Remaining Silent About the Callers to Misguidance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question that says: There are those who spread fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in the lands of the Muslims, namely the callers to misguidance. Should we warn against them and make it clear to the people that they are on misguidance, or should we remain silent?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to remain silent. If you know of them this danger, this misguidance, and this evil, and they are among the Muslims, it is obligatory to expose them, analyze their situation, and reveal their hidden state so that the Muslims are safe from their evil, and so that society is also safe from their danger. Therefore, it is not permissible to remain silent about such people. Yes.
