Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence,The Shaykh : We are students at King Saud University.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : We are students at King Saud University.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And there are large numbers of Rafidah in this university. What is the legal criterion for dealing with them?
The Shaykh : Deal with them as they deal with you, and call them to the truth. Every follower of an innovator should be dealt with as he deals with you, and you should call him to the truth. Many of the followers of the leaders of the people of innovation do not know that they are upon an innovation; they have a good opinion of those they follow and do not know. If you discuss it with them calmly and clarify the truth to them, they will return. Therefore, we must distinguish between the one who calls to innovation and the common follower who does not know. In any case, we deal with them as they deal with us, but we call them to the truth and clarify to them the misguidance they are upon, which consists of innovations. Perhaps Allah will guide them. Yes.
