Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who says, "Do not respond to those who disagree with the people of the Sunnah, so that there are no divisions in the religion"?
Answer:
It is necessary to respond, but the response must come from the people of knowledge. The response must come from the people of knowledge and insight. It is necessary to respond to those who disagree in order to clarify the disagreement they are upon, so that others do not follow them, and perhaps they will repent from their disagreement. But only the people of knowledge undertake this.
