The call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) without mentioning the names of the callers to shirk (associating partners with Allah)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the prohibition of shirk (associating partners with Allah) valid without mentioning the names of the callers to shirk and bid'ah (religious innovation)?

Answer:
Yes. Mentioning their names, if it leads to harm, then do not mention their names. But warn against shirk, call to tawhid, and explain it to the people. Yes. As for mentioning individuals, there is no need for it; rather, it may stir up fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and stir up evil. Yes.
