The Ruling on Approaching the Rafidah and the Categories of Disagreement

Question:
This questioner says: Many people are divided on the issue of disagreement between extremism and negligence. Some say that approaching the Rafidah and the Sunnah is a necessity of the current stage, and the Rafidah have done what they have done to the Muslims and are doing what they are doing now. Others hold that anything involving disagreement must be avoided. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
Disagreement is of two types. Disagreement in creed is not permissible to persist in or to be lenient about, because if we disagree in creed, we will split and fight. The second type is disagreement in jurisprudential issues derived from the Book and the Sunnah. This is a reality and occurs among the people of the Sunnah as well as among scholars. Disagreement occurred among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) in jurisprudential issues. But as I mentioned to you, this is settled by returning to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The independent legal reasoning of qualified scholars is accepted insofar as it agrees with the evidence, and what contradicts the evidence is left aside. One does not become hostile to its holder or declare him misguided; rather, it is said, "He exercised independent legal reasoning and erred." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If a judge exercises independent legal reasoning and is correct, he has two rewards, and if ." This applies if the person is among the people of knowledge and jurisprudence who investigated but did not find the truth; his error is forgiven, but it is not permissible to follow the error. Yes.
