Question:
The deterrence of the Salaf from the people of innovation, warning against them, and not attending their gatherings or listening to their speech: is it to deter them, or out of fear of falling into what they fell into?
Answer:
It is to deter them, and out of fear of falling into what they fell into.
To deter them so that they may return and repent.
And so that the one sitting with them does not fall into what they fell into. We ask Allah for safety.
Q: Calling them...?
The Shaykh: Good, this is from the category of calling to Allah. Good, that is fine.
