Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: There are those who accuse the scholars of da'wah of extremism in creed. What do we answer these people, and how do we respond to them and those like them?
Answer:
This does not deserve an answer. This does not deserve an answer, and do not occupy yourself with arguing with him, for he is a misguided one who misguides others, and arguing with him only increases his transgression and the prominence of his affair. The best thing is that he is left to his loss and ignored, for he is too lowly to be answered. The polytheists and the hypocrites said what they said about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) of insults and abuse, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pay attention to them and did not give them any heed.
