The Ruling on Dilution in Dealing with the People of Innovation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: Many of the brothers follow the scholars' approach in dealing with those who hold differing views, such as maintaining calm, not stirring up trouble, attempting to bring the dissenter to a state of balance, and warning against errors. However, some people do not see that in them and accuse them of diluting the approach in dealing with the people of innovation. What is your opinion on that?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to remain steadfast on the correct path, to clarify the sound methodology, to spread the pure knowledge, and to advise one another to truth. So whoever accepts it, praise be to Allah, and whoever abandons it, he harms only himself.
The presenter:
We open the floor.
The Shaykh:
And there is no doubt that using wisdom with the dissenter, perhaps he will return, perhaps he will accept. Using a little wisdom. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[An-Nahl 16:125], and He said to Musa and Harun: [Taha 20:44]. Yes.

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِAnd speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."
فَقُولَا لَهُ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ
