Is it permissible to direct Muslims to an association that offers the lesser pilgrimage ('Umrah) for free but follows a bid'ah (religious innovation) methodology?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from Britain who says: There is an association in my country that follows a bid'ah (religious innovation) methodology, and this association takes new Muslims to perform 'Umrah for free. He asks: Is it permissible for me to advertise the services of this association to my new Muslim friends?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to go to this association or seek its help. As long as it is upon bid'ah (religious innovation), it is not permissible. There are many Muslims and many charitable associations, praise be to Allah. There are also many Islamic centers. May Allah make you in no need of this innovating sect. Yes.
