What is your advice regarding the brothers who have recently committed themselves to the religion and are practicing da'wah in a repulsive and incorrect manner?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our teacher, some of the young men who were with us in the co-ed universities, meaning Allah has opened their hearts to this da'wah, I see them taking the da'wah in another direction. The young men are clustering together and directing the da'wah toward another direction of violence, harshness, and scrutinizing simple matters and exaggerating in them. Also, they belittle people and are arrogant with knowledge. So how do we deal with these young men? And if you go to advise one of them, he tells you, "I do not accept your advice," or something like that.
The Shaykh : We deal with them within the limits of the religion and advice. And if he tells you, "I do not accept your advice," then you have no way over him. You call for him for good, success, and guidance. But if they turn away and you have turned away, meaning there is opposition and incompatibility, and this is prohibited in the Shari'ah. It is obligatory for us to be lenient with one another, to be gentle with one another, and to advise one another in reality. This is not only with our brothers, but also with our opponents who are far from our methodology and our da'wah. Also, it is obligatory for us to be lenient with them.
The questioner : With our brothers, even more so.
The Shaykh : Yes, even more so.
The questioner : We do not be harsh with them. I mean, these young men, for example, are considered to be with...The Shaykh : Nasser andThe Shaykh : Nasser, our beloved and our Shaykh, and we are careful that he is not exposed to any harm or speech, etc.
The Shaykh : Authentic
The questioner : So we see that this direction of theirs may cause harm to the Salafi da'wah in the country. And of course, our Shaykh... This is the speech of Abu Malik, may Allah reward him with good. So we are naturally jealous for our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : What do we benefit them with... other than advice?
The questioner : That he remains among us.
The Shaykh : You have nothing over them except to advise them, and that is all.
The questioner : My teacher, I have an idea, which is that some of the young men that Abu Anas spoke about, meaning they declared to Abu Layla that I am one of them. I know how it is, meaning they did not hide anything from me. So I do not know, it is in my heart to take an appointment with you and bring these young men who have this harshness in their style.

And [by] the time. Indeed, man is in loss, except those who have faith and do righteous deeds and enjoin one another to truth and enjoin one another to patience.
والعصر إن الإنسان لفي خسر إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وتواصوا بالحق وتواصوا بالصبرThe questioner : With our brothers, even more so.
The Shaykh : Yes, even more so.
