The ruling on one against whom the argument has not been established in matters of creed

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, have you passed by the third house of the well-known one? They said that you should open it for him, knowing that it is the last one, whether he returned it from drinking or he returned it from drinking.

Answer:
If the argument has been established against him and he refuses to return, he remains silent, because he has no longer any excuse; the argument has been established against him. But if the argument has not been established against him, and he is a follower of others or one who interprets [texts] and his error in interpretation has not been clarified to him, then he is misguided and not a disbeliever. Most of them are of this type; most of them are of this type, either followers or interpreters, and the truth in this matter has not become clear to them, because they received their creeds from people who hold this creed and insist on it, so they followed them in that. They took what their shaykhs held, so they do not reach the level of the news; the news is not known to them, but it is said that this is misguidance.
