Dialogue with the Grave Worshippers and Publishing the Scholars’ Words in Denying Shirk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says that there is a person who calls for dialogue with the grave worshippers who claim that their ancestors intercede for people, and says that the scholars’ words are folded up and not published, then clarify the truth, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Dialogue with them, if acceptance and a return to the truth is expected from them, is to hold dialogue with them. But if acceptance of the truth is not expected from them, and that they will prevent people from what is upon them, then this is cold; dialogue with them. And the scholars’ words, if they are truth, are published. The truth is published and not folded up; cowardice and falsehood. As for the truth, it is obligatory to publish it, it is obligatory to elevate it, and it is obligatory to make it apparent to people with the truth. That they are in its generality, it is folded up and not published, meaning we reconcile with them and do not deny them, and we keep the words of the people of knowledge in denying shirk (associating partners with Allah). Peace be upon you, yes.
