Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: When we advise the youth to be wary of the Khawarij, they listen and accept it. But when we mention some prominent individuals who claim affiliation with such a group, we find them hesitant to accept this and to continue responding to us. What is your advice, and what is the path for conveying knowledge to such people?
Answer:
The issue is not about individuals; rather, the issue is about a methodology. We warn against the methodology of the Khawarij, we mention their doubts, we refute them, and we answer them. As for the individuals, they are called to the truth and advised, perhaps they will accept the advice. If they do not accept it, then they are left alone, rejected, and turned away from. Yes, and their case is referred to the one in authority.
