Question:
A questioner from outside this country says: The number of Muslims in our country is small. If we warn people about the people of innovation, we warn them about them, and as a result, they turn away from responding to the call. He says: How do we combine disavowal of the people of innovation with da'wah in the lands of the disbelievers, where the number of Muslims is small?
Answer:
Disavowal of the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah), my brother, is disavowal of the people of shirk. As for the people of bid'ah (religious innovation) that does not amount to shirk, you disavow their bid'ah only. You disavow their bid'ah, but you do not disavow them entirely. Yes.
