The Response to Secularists and Those Who Mock the Religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: You were asked yesterday about the importance of responding to secularists and those who mock the religion when they openly display their falsehood. You mentioned that the one who possesses knowledge is the one who responds to them. Does this mean that the one with little knowledge should remain silent in the face of what is wrong, or should he write to the Muslim scholars so that they respond to them?
Answer:
Convey to the Muslim scholars what is permitted to be conveyed to the Muslim scholars, so that they may give them the words that came from these people, and it is the scholars who will respond to it, if Allah wills. As for him, he does not respond to them, and he has knowledge; I fear that he will produce more speech that is worse than their speech. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
