The questioner : There are some issues, O Shaykh, on which the scholars have disagreed. Some of them say it is a religious innovation, and some say it is permissible. Some of the young people are followers of scholars without independent reasoning, so due to my trust in the scholar who said it was permissible, I adopted this issue. Is it permissible, O Shaykh, to judge this person by attacking his methodology or declaring him an innovator because of this action? An example of this is the issue of acting or drama.
The Shaykh : The issue of what?
The questioner : Acting or drama.

What is your opinion, O Shaykh?
