What is the position of the Salafi in southern Russia regarding some preachers who are of Russian origin, who go from Jordan to Russia and spread the Ash'ari creed in
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We mean, we are Chechen brothers, our origin is from southern Russia, and some of the brothers from our same background are studying Islamic jurisprudence at the Jordanian group. It is known that the trial in the Jordanian University, specifically in the Department of Islamic Jurisprudence, is the Ash'ari creed and other creeds. So they go there for the sake of da'wah and call the people there to this creed, and they make them believe in this creed completely. So what do we do? We cannot go there, and they may have some brothers who send them there and support them with money. So I do not know what we do there for those who are in our country in southern Russia regarding these people who are sent there and call to this Ash'ari creed. We know that more than one brother has gone there, and besides the brothers from our background, there are Jordanian brothers who are here, who studied here and went there for the sake of da'wah, and the da'wah there is fully open. They do not have a religion; they believe in this matter. So what do we do in response to this matter?
The Shaykh : Do what you can. This is a confusing question. Do what you can. Can you do anything?
The questioner : I mean, do we leave them to go and do this?
The Shaykh : You did not answer my question.
The questioner : By Allah, as for me, I cannot do anything, and perhaps the brothers...
The Shaykh : Are you asking me regarding whom? Regarding you or regarding others?
The questioner : Regarding us as Salafi brothers who are present, and who adopt the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community.
The Shaykh : If you are one of them, can you do anything?
The questioner : I mean, at least, as for me, I cannot do anything, but what should be our position regarding this matter toward the other brothers?
The Shaykh : You should do what is obligatory upon you.
The questioner : I mean, we go there and call them to this matter.
The Shaykh : If you can, this is the obligatory duty. This is a clear matter.
The questioner : I mean, we just go there and call them to the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : And we do not leave these people.
The Shaykh : This is it, but the issue falls under His saying:[At-Taghabun 64:16] So if you are able and do not do it, you are sinful, and so are all those who are able and do not do it.
The Shaykh : Do what you can. This is a confusing question. Do what you can. Can you do anything?
The questioner : I mean, do we leave them to go and do this?
The Shaykh : You did not answer my question.
The questioner : By Allah, as for me, I cannot do anything, and perhaps the brothers...

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فاتقوا الله ما استطعتم
