The harassment of the callers to falsehood by the people of knowledge and goodness

Q: Among the things you have graciously mentioned, and I believe many of my brothers share this understanding with me, is that it is the one who holds to falsehood who must be prevented, not the callers to the truth. They should not be prevented from allowing people to benefit from them in the field of da'wah.
A: There is no doubt that the obligatory duty is to prevent the callers to falsehood, who are the ones harassing the people of knowledge and goodness. This may lead to their being prevented from the mosques due to the actions of the callers to falsehood, so that others are prevented because of them. If the people of falsehood are prevented, the path will be straightened and the field will be widened for the callers to the truth.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the rulers to take hold of the hands of the people of falsehood and prevent them from spreading their falsehood by every means of the legitimate Shari'ah, whether the holder of falsehood is a communist, a polytheist, a Christian, an innovator, or ignorant of the rulings of the pure Shari'ah. It is obligatory for the rulers from among the people of Islam to prevent the holders of falsehood we have mentioned from spreading their falsehood, and they must support the callers to the truth who call people to the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and make clear to them what Allah has made obligatory upon them and what He has forbidden, with knowledge and insight. They clarify for them the right of Allah, the right of His servants, the right of the rulers, and the right of every Muslim over his brother. These are the ones who are suffering. Whoever deviates from the path and calls to other than the Shari'ah is the one who is prevented, wherever he may be. End of the answer.
