Confronting Deviant Calls in Matters of Belief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: From the sisters' question, may Allah reward you, our honorable Shaykh, for what you have clarified for us regarding the fact that 'aqidah (creed) is the foundation of the religion and the foundation of worship, and that it is our duty to call people to it. So what is our duty now toward calls that invite people to deviation in belief or in the matters of practice?
Answer:
Yes, these—confront them. Confront them by explaining to people what is correct, not by fighting with their people, but by explaining to people that the correct path is this, and that what this Ummah (Muslim community) has followed, both the Salaf (earliest generations) and the Khalaf (later generations), is this sound methodology. Explain this to people. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
