Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the Muslim's position on fitan (trials, discord, or temptation) at this time?
Answer:
The Muslim's position regarding fitan (trials, discord, or temptation) is to avoid them, stay away from them, and not speak about them unless he has knowledge and intends to clarify matters for the people and warn them against the fitan (trials, discord, or temptation). That is a good thing. However, entering into them, correcting and criticizing, issuing statements, and signing them is not permissible. This is aiding in kindling the fitnah (trial, discord, or temptation). Yes.
