Guiding Those Who Respond to Deviations and Spread Knowledge

Question:
The intention is, perhaps, that the Shaykh (may Allah guide him) will tell us how to deal with some of these groups. Some of them, for example, may write out of ignorance and make mistakes, and when the Shaykh points this out, they return and accept it. Others may have some degree of Westernization that removes some of their stubbornness, and they need an appropriate way to deal with them. We would like the Shaykh to advise those who enter this field based on his experience. May Allah reward him and all of you.

Answer:
. There is no doubt that it is obligatory for everyone to do so to the extent of their ability, and the responsibility is greater for students of knowledge and scholars. They must cooperate in righteousness and piety, and they must clarify the truth, explain it, and respond to doubts, especially doubts regarding creed. They must pay attention to clarifying and explaining doubts regarding creed, especially when they return to their countries. The good may extend from their countries to other countries, and the reward will return to them, by the permission of Allah. This is what I advise them, I advise them with this: that the intention is not merely that it is a lesson in Saudi Arabia and that one obtained a degree, but that it has a product and a return when one returns to his country. Reflect on His saying: . Do not be silent while you see the people of your country . Start with the people of your country, enlighten them, make the truth clear to them, and spread beneficial knowledge among them. This is the benefit of the student of knowledge if he carries some beneficial knowledge: that he does not be stingy with it and store it only in his chest.
