Warning the New Muslim About the People of Innovation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from Britain says: A man converted to Islam here in Britain, so I immediately warned him about the people of innovation. Some of the brothers objected to me, saying, "Do not warn him until his heart is settled in faith." Is what I did correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. By warning him about the people of innovation, he might stop believing and back away. You should encourage him in Islam and show him the merits of Islam. The matter of warning him about the people of innovation comes after that, once his faith is established and his footing in Islam is firm. He learns little by little. Yes.
