The questioner:
We will take Mansur from al-Kharma. Go ahead, Mansur. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah bless your life, and our rulers and our scholars. Praise be to Allah for the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the Sunnah, and the correct Salafi creed, and praise be to Allah. They have been commanded to convey the message to those who affiliate with certain groups, such as the Tabligh Jama'ah and the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet, unfortunately, there are those who contradict the Book and the Sunnah and the Muslim community and their Imam. They endorse these groups and their symbols, and unfortunately, they are counted among the Council of Senior Scholars and the Committee for Ifta. What is your Eminence's opinion?
The Shaykh:
I do not think, my brother, that any member of the Council of Senior Scholars is characterized by what you mentioned. However, if you see someone deviating, you must admonish him. If he abandons this deviation and adheres to the path of the Sunnah and the community, and to obedience and submission, otherwise, you must report him to those who will warn him and take hold of his hand, as you were commanded to do, according to what you mentioned? Yes.
The presenter:
