The Muslim's Position on the Asha'irah and the Sufis: Advice and Boycott
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the Muslim's position toward those who hold the beliefs of the Asha'irah, the Sufis, and similar groups? Are they to be boycotted after being advised? And are they to be greeted with the salam?
Answer:
Yes, they are to be advised and the correct creed is to be explained to them. If they persist in the creed of the opponents, and boycotting them serves as a deterrent for them and a call to their repentance, then they are to be boycotted. However, if boycotting them only increases their evil, then they are not to be boycotted, but rather their error and misguidance are to be clarified, they are to be advised, and the advice is to continue, in the hope that Allah will guide them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
