The questioner : There is a person who has belonged to a group or an Islamic party for a long time, and he has a well-known reputation in his region. When the truth that he is upon now became clear to him, may Allah preserve him, what is the action he will take? Does he remain with that group or that party to reform it from within and avoid much of the harm that he knows and expects will occur when he announces that he has disavowed or withdrawn from that group, or does he remain in it, or withdraw? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. I want to understand before I answer. I have understood what you mentioned, but I did not understand what the harm is that he fears will befall him if he announces his withdrawal. Because I say, initially, in part of the answer to that question, that there is good and harm in both withdrawal and remaining. And in my opinion, the previous answer can, meaning, shed light on this question as well. But the matter may need some explanation and clarification. However, before that, I want to understand what the harm is that may befall the one for whom the truth became clear, that he is not in the party with which he lived for many years?
The questioner : By Allah, if we say what the matters are that will befall him, the issue will become clearer, and this requires that it not be recorded.
The Shaykh : He needs to?
The questioner : Not recording it.
The Shaykh : Turn it off.
