Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the debates that appear on some satellite channels, where one party is usually from the people of the Sunnah and the other from the people of deviation? And it is well known that the people of deviation, for the most part, want to deceive the common people.

Answer:
This depends on the capability and strength of the person from the people of the Sunnah who is debating them, according to his capability and strength. If he has the capability and the strength to expose them and reveal their falsehood, that is good. But if he does not have the capability and his knowledge is limited, it is not permissible for him to enter this arena. Yes. So that they do not overcome him, and then it becomes a defeat for the people of the Sunnah. Yes.
