Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the manner of dealing with the people of innovation, and are they all to be boycotted?
Answer:
Innovations differ. If the innovations are of disbelief, then they are boycotted for their disbelief. As for if the innovations are less than disbelief, that is open sinfulness; this is considered open sinfulness. There is a distinction regarding boycotting the open sinner: if boycotting him deters him and leads him to repentance, he is boycotted. But if it increases his evil and distance, he is not boycotted, but he is advised. However, the advice continues with him. As for if the innovation does not reach the level of open sinfulness, but is only a sin, then this does not reach the level of open sinfulness; it is considered among the sins, so its doer is not boycotted, but he is advised. So innovations are of three types: some are disbelief, some are open sinfulness, and some are a sin that does not reach the level of open sinfulness. Yes.
