Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: What is the treatment of an innovator who commits an innovation that entails disbelief? Is it permissible to boycott him?

The Shaykh:
And the treatment

The questioner:
of an innovator who commits an innovation that entails disbelief? Is it permissible to boycott him?

The Shaykh:
Without a doubt, if he does not stop and does not abandon the innovation, it is obligatory to boycott him and stay away from him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Who verifies this? Because some of the brothers declare everything they do not know to be an innovation, so it is necessary to verify that it is an innovation and that it is such by evidence; that it is an innovation by evidence. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
The brothers declare one another innovators without evidence and without proof, merely on the basis of disagreement. Yes.
