Question:
And what is the position toward the people of innovation, O Shaykh?
Answer:
The position toward the people of bid'ah (religious innovation). Because it was mentioned in the question, he says: ignore the bid'ah. This is a great question, a question about the people of bid'ah, because many people are lenient with them. We have heard. It is obligatory to boycott them in all cases, as long as they remain upon the bid'ah, they must be boycotted. They are not like the open sinner who is a Muslim and has sins, but he has not reached the level of disbelief; we said there is a distinction in that case. As for bid'ah, there is no distinction in it; they are boycotted until they abandon their bid'ah.
