Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is condemning those with diseased hearts from among the people of innovation (bid'ah) considered like jihad in the cause of Allah with wealth and self?
Answer:
It is jihad through da'wah (calling others to Islam), yes. Jihad has different types: some is jihad with weapons, some is jihad through da'wah and enjoining good and forbidding evil, and some is jihad by arguing with the hypocrites. The disbelievers are fought with weapons, while the hypocrites are debated with evidence, yes.
