The Ruling on Responding to the Opposer and One Who Supports Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Do you stand, for example? No, you do not accept anything.
The Shaykh:
What?
The presenter:
It is normal, it is normal.
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Is the default for Shaytan in the land of his followers?
The Shaykh:
Responding to the opposer unites the community, because it clarifies the truth, and the community does not unite except on the truth; they do not unite on falsehood. Therefore, responding to the opposer is obligatory. Allah responded to the opposers, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) responded to the opposers, and the scholars responded to the opposers. It is not permissible to remain silent regarding those who err and those who oppose, because this is deception of the Muslims and promotion of opposition and falsehood. However, only one who has knowledge should undertake the response; only scholars who know how to respond should undertake it. Not everyone responds to the opposer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
