The Muslim's obligation when hearing about the trials (fitan)

Question:
Peace be upon you. This questioner asks, saying: Your Excellency the Shaykh, it is not hidden from your eminence that people in this time are delving into these trials (fitan). So what is the obligation of the Muslim man when he sits with people and hears this delving into the trials (fitan), especially since we are not safe from them, whether in the workplace, in family gatherings, or in the media?

Answer:
It is obligatory to advise these people and to make it clear that this kind of discussion is not permissible, and that it causes evil and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). He should warn them against this fear and this talk, explaining that it is not in their own interest first, nor in the interest of the Muslims in general, as we mentioned, if he has knowledge.
So let him make it clear to the people and not conceal the knowledge. The knowledge that encourages gathering and forbids splitting, forbids chaos, and forbids talk that is not in the interest of the Muslims—he should make this clear. If he is ignorant, he should not sit with these people; he should keep his distance from them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Hudhayfah
