The Ruling on Reporting One Who Innovates and Declares the Ruler a Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah bless you and your knowledge, Your Eminence, our father. If I know that one of the students of one of the shaykhs I study with is committing bid'ah (religious innovation) and declaring the ruler a disbeliever, should I inform the shaykh of this, or is that considered ghibah (backbiting)?
Answer:
First, advise him. If he stops doing this and accepts the advice, praise be to Allah. If he persists, you must report him to the authorities. It is not enough to just inform the shaykh; report him to the authorities so they can take action against him. Yes.
