We are students of knowledge who deliver sermons in the mosques, but some people objected to us, saying that this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and that it is part of storytelling!

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We are students of knowledge who go out to some mosques and deliver sermons about death and other matters, but some students of knowledge objected to us and said that this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and that it is part of storytelling. So what is the criterion in this matter?

Answer:
We have a complete Ministry of Da'wah and Guidance, so you must obtain a license from them for preaching and reminding. You take a license from the Ministry, and they do not grant this except to those who are qualified. They do not grant the license except to those who have the competence for this. Yes.
