The questioner : They mention that in many of your books, you mean, in many pages, you respond to people. So I say, if we had used these pages for this knowledge, it would have been beneficial. What do you think?
The Shaykh : How do you mean we used them? For what, do you mean?
The questioner : I mean with knowledge, O Shaykh.
Another questioner : I mean fifteen pages.
The Shaykh : I mean we do not respond to them.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, what Allah willed!
The questioner : We leave them to curse and we do not respond to them.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : We do not say anything, we do not return their point of view at all, we remain silent.
The Shaykh : No, no, let them run and play in the misguidance of those who say this. One of two things is the case: either he is one of them, or it does not suit him that Al-Albani responds to them, exposes them, and clarifies their ignorance and misguidance. Or he is one of our good brothers who does not look far ahead. Yes, this is like if a person said, "Why does Allah respond to the Christians and say:[Al-Ma'idah 5:73]" My brother, it is not permissible to remain silent about misguidance. Yes, it may be apparent, but it is apparent to the guided ones. As for the disbelievers, He, the Exalted, said regarding them: [Al-Kahf 18:103-104].

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ(103) Say, [O Muhammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds? (104) [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا * الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا
