A group claiming affiliation with Abdullah al-Habashi has appeared, using force to attack Muslims. Should we confront them?

The questioner : I mean, suppose, for example, in Lebanon, there are many problems and many people who fight Islam, including the Habashi present in Lebanon. During the next two weeks, I have heard a lot about them. Some of them enter the mosques and beat and slaughter the Muslims present in the mosque. Their aim is to seize the mosques in Lebanon, and among them is the Habashi... I understood more about how they did not go and how they did not come; they declared the scholars there to be disbelievers .

The questioner : The Habashi? How?

The Shaykh : The followers of the group of Abdullah al-Habashi. No, he is a shaykh from Habash (Ethiopia), from Harar, named Abdullah al-Habashi. He was in Damascus, and we met with him. May Allah know his intention. He is undoubtedly deviant from Islam according to our call; but it appears that he may be an infiltrator, meaning, in the name of Islam, to harm Islam and Muslims. My answer now regarding this question is that it is obligatory for them to defend themselves. It is obligatory for them to defend themselves and to prepare to repel evil from themselves from these people. Perhaps there are Rafidi Shi'ah, and perhaps you have Ba'athists and communists, and so on. There are many, many, and very many calamities. It is necessary to form an Islamic bloc to repel the harm of these aggressive oppressors, and perhaps it will be so.
