Classification Among Preachers and Directing People to the Scholars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, I love you for the sake of Allah. We have benefited from your books and your explanations of the scientific texts, and from your abundant knowledge. It is a great honor to hear from you directly, and this is the highest form of praise. We ask Allah to elevate your status and raise the rank of His Highness the Prince who arranged this meeting. After that, Honorable Shaykh, Dr. Rina in Libya is suffering from a disease that has spread among some of the preachers, which is classifying people. Some preachers are concerned with classifying people, and they raise the banner of being connected to the scholars of this country, especially being connected to your specific honor. Therefore, we hope you will guide us and direct us to them.

Answer:
It is not permissible to classify in a way that divides the Muslims. Rather, the one who is upon the truth is encouraged to do so, and the one who has a deviation is shown his deviation with wisdom, good admonition, and the best kind of argument. If he accepts it, praise be to Allah, and if he does not accept it, the proof is established against him. Yes.
