Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: How should one deal with the people of innovation, or with an innovator, in terms of worldly interaction, such as smiling at them, greeting them, and the like?
Answer:
If his innovation is one that makes him an open sinner or a disbeliever, do not be friendly with him and do not sit with him. But if his innovation is less than that, then along with advising him and explaining the truth to him, if he accepts, you sit with him; and if he does not accept, you boycott him, provided that boycotting him affects him and leads to his repentance. Yes.
