Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on attending some of the innovated festivals in order to know what violations are in them, and then to refute those who perform them and organize them?
Answer:
Only the people of hisbah to whom this is entrusted do this; they go and see what happens in them and report it so that action can be taken to remove it. As for an ordinary person who has no authority, he does not go with them. Yes.
