Question:
He asks: Is it prescribed for a person, when he hears speech that compromises the creed, to say "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord," especially if it pertains to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)?
Answer:
That is not sufficient. It is necessary to rebuke the speaker whose speech compromises the creed, explain his error to him, and not remain silent about it. His conscience is not cleared if he is able to explain and rebuke; his conscience is not cleared except by doing so. Yes.
