The Ruling on Advising a Person Who Holds to Religious Innovations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A person has some bid'ah (religious innovations). Should he advise the Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory to advise the one who has bid'ah, provided the advisor is knowledgeable and aware of the reality of bid'ah and what it is, and he advises him regarding it. This is because bid'ah is rejected upon its doer; whoever does a deed for which we have no command from us, it is rejected. Therefore, it is not permissible to act upon bid'ah, and the obligatory thing is to act upon the sunnah (recommended practice) established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

May Allah reward you,
