The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to sit with the common people of the people of innovation?
The Shaykh:
There is no good in them. Do not sit with them, neither their common people nor their scholars, unless you are clarifying the bid'ah (religious innovation) to them so that perhaps they will abandon it. Yes.
The presenter:
You.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
