Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A preacher stood up in a mosque and said, “By Allah, the one who has a *dush* in his house and comes to the mosque to pray is a hypocrite. What is your opinion on applying this description and swearing an oath about it?”
Answer:
This is an exaggeration. This is an exaggeration that is not permissible. And this is what drives people away. Preaching is not done in this manner. The one who has a *dush* in his house, there is no doubt that this involves danger and sin. But his coming to the mosque is a righteous deed.
This is a righteous deed, so we disapprove of the sin he has, and we approve of and praise him for the good he has, and we encourage him to do so. As for driving people away and saying, “Do not come to the mosque while you have a *dush*,” that means we are adding to the problem: he will have a *dush* and not pray, which is a problem. But this is due to the ignorance of some preachers and their enthusiasm without understanding the religion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
