Question:
This questioner says that some people do not warn against the people of innovation and desires on the grounds that they are scrupulous in this, and that this hardens the hearts. So what advice do you give to these people?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the people of knowledge to make things clear. It is obligatory for the people of knowledge who possess knowledge, insight, wisdom, and the ability to place matters in their proper positions to make things clear:[Ali 'Imran 3:187] Do not make it clear to the people, nor conceal it. As for the person who is not proficient in knowledge, or who lacks wisdom in his explanation and thereby repels people and causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), he does not take on this task. Rather, this task is undertaken by the people of knowledge, the people of insight, and the people of wisdom. Yes.

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ
