Question:
This is another question. It says: Your Eminence knows what Allah has bestowed upon us in this blessed land, namely a call based on the Book, the Sunnah, and the methodology of the righteous predecessors. The rulers, the scholars, and the people all agreed upon this. Then some ideas and groups entered upon us: the extreme, radical ones and the deviant parties. They affected some people, especially the youth, and distracted them from the straight path. What is the correct Islamic legal position regarding these groups and organizations?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. The weapon is with you, and it is the Book, the Sunnah, and the way of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They have nothing with them but deception, treachery, and the delusion of Satan.
So if you fulfill your duty and are patient, then the outcome belongs to the righteous in every time and place. It is not strange what is being plotted against the Muslims now; this is ongoing, and the struggle between truth and falsehood will continue and remain.
It is a test and trial for people from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).[Al-An'am 6:112]. But if you fulfill your duty, support your religion, spread the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and teach people this religion and the rulings of this religion, then falsehood is vanishing and false, and falsehood never stands before the truth. Yes.

But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ
