The Position on a Preacher Who Calls to Religious Innovations

Question:
I said: I reflect, and by my Lord, I look to my Lord regarding the angels, and it is as if they accept the sins of their deeds, and it is as if you accept calling to your deeds by your deeds.

Answer:
If you have knowledge, then you should point it out and comment on the sermon with wisdom and gentleness, without any quarreling or showing off. You comment on the sermon with good words and clear evidence, and, if Allah wills, the truth will become clear. But if you do not have knowledge, then you should report this preacher to the authority responsible for the mosques in order to remove him from the mosque. One who calls to religious innovations (bid'ah) is not fit to be an imam or a preacher. This country, praise be to Allah, does not approve of these matters, and the authorities are ready to remove this one who calls to religious innovations and put in his place someone better than him. The bottom line is that silence is not permissible. If you are able to respond and comment, then respond and teach. If you are not able, then report his case to the nearest Ministry of Awqaf office to have this preacher removed.
