The Ruling on Distributing Pamphlets That Expose Hostility Toward Misguided Sects

Question:
I ask Allah for you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: I see pamphlets that call for displaying hostility toward some of the deviant sects, including the monks. They are so severe in this that it may incite fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and unrest, especially since they live among us. Is this approach correct? Or would calling them with gentleness, presenting the truth to them, and clarifying it with scriptural evidence, without harshness or severity, lead to great harms? I ask for clarification on this matter.

Answer:
First, who issued these pamphlets? Who issued them? Second, if we know who issued them and that he is a scholar and that they are correct, it is not permissible for us to support distributing pamphlets in mosques and markets in this manner. This is a degradation of knowledge and a disparagement of knowledge. It also incites fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); it incites fitnah. This method is not correct. I do not approve of it. Yes.
