Do we refrain from warning against the people of innovation out of fear of people's talk?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling, or what is the opinion, of the one who says, "Do not warn against the people of desires and religious innovations (bid'ah), because if you do that, people will talk about you and say that you are speaking about the people of good."

Answer:
They spoke about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said what they said. They spoke about the scholars and the callers to Allah, and what, what, and what. The scholar and the caller to Allah are not affected by that. He does not turn to the people. He is not coming for people to praise him; he is coming for people to be guided. He is not coming for people to praise him and speak well of him. Yes.
What he intends is for people to speak well of him and praise him. This is calling to himself, not calling to Allah, as Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the word of Allah the Exalted: He mentioned sincerity in the call, because some people call to themselves and do not call to Allah. Yes.
