Boycoting the Innovator Who Persists in His Innovation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does boycotting the innovator depend on public benefit and harm in general, if the innovator is persisting in his innovation?
Answer:
If his innovation does not amount to disbelief, then if boycotting him deters him from his innovation, he is boycotted. But if it does not deter him and may only increase it, he is not boycotted; rather, he is advised and forbidden from the innovation. Yes.
