Sitting with the People of Innovation to Advise Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh, is it valid or permissible for me to sit with the people of innovation (ahl al-bid'ah) to advise them and forbid them from their evil?
Answer:
If this has an effect on them, and you have the scholarly qualification, and it affects them, then sit with them and explain to them the innovations (bid'ah) they have, and perhaps they will abandon them. But if they do not accept it from you, or if you do not have the qualification, do not approach them; stay away from them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
