Is it obligatory to present the statements of opponents to the scholars of the Sunnah to clarify the Shari'ah position regarding their statements, especially since their speech contains distortion of the Shari'ah texts, and their statements contradict the statements of the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah? Is this action a pursuit of the slips of opponents, or is it permissible to do so for the protection of the Shari'ah?
