How to deal with one who persists in the religious innovation of instructing the deceased and reciting over him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, how should one deal with the person who considers it permissible to instruct the deceased and recite for him out of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), after it has been explained to him?

The Shaykh : We have no way to deal with him except by explanation, and that is all. What can we do besides saying:
so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve فمن شاء فليؤمن ومن شاء فليكفر
[Al-Kahf 18:29]
And you are not a guardian over them ولست عليهم بوكيل
And you are not a controller over them ولست عليهم بمسيطر
Upon you is only the explanation إن عليك إلا البيان
Your companion is waiting there. Allahu Akbar. Yes.
