Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from Britain asks and says: Is it permissible for us to warn against the mosques of the Sufis and the partisan groups that cooperate with other religions in the unity of religions? He says that we should mention them by name in the Friday sermon on the pulpit, and does this fall under the forbidden backbiting?
Answer:
No, it is not backbiting. This falls under causing confusion and discord, and there may be skirmishes. This is what results from it, nothing but harm. If you speak about them, they will speak about you, and there will be discord and evil.
