The Ruling on Distributing Pamphlets That Call for Displaying Hostility Toward Misguided Sects

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I see that the pamphlets calling for displaying hostility toward some of the misguided sects, including the Rafidah, are so severe in this matter that they may incite fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and unrest, especially since they live among us. Is this approach correct? Or should their da'wah (calling others to Islam) be done with good intention, by presenting the truth to them and clarifying it with scriptural evidence, without the harshness and insults that may lead to great injustices? I ask for clarification on this matter.

Answer:
First, if you evaluate these pamphlets, and second, if we know who produced them and that he is a scholar and that they are correct, it is not permissible. I do not support distributing pamphlets in mosques and markets in this manner. This is a degradation of knowledge and a disparagement of knowledge. It also incites fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); it incites fitnah. So this method is not correct.

The presenter:
I do not see it. Yes.
