Question:
This questioner says: Is it obligatory for the student of knowledge to respond to the people of innovation?
Answer:
If he knows how to respond, he must do so. But if he does not know how to respond, I fear that he will give an incorrect response, and the deficiency will be upon him. They will turn against him, and the deficiency will be upon him because he did not know how to respond. Yes.
