Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some people who affiliate with, or have been influenced by, certain partisan orientations are confused and wish to return to the truth and the right path. Some of them have realized their influence by these orientations. What is our position toward them, especially since some preachers refuse to accept and do not believe in this return? They say, "It does not concern you whether he is a hypocrite or a pretender, just as the Rafidah do." What is your guidance?
Answer:
This is a bad opinion of Allah and a bad opinion of the Muslims. We accept the truth and do not search into what is in the hearts, for none knows them except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We accept the truth from whoever brings it. We accept the truth from whoever brings it, as long as it is the truth.

You must guide them with proper guidance, benefit them, and have an impact on those around you, becoming a good role model for them.

وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ
