Compromising Or Giving Da'wah?

Compromising Or Giving Da'wah?

Shaykh Zayd Ibn Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allah preserve him) was asked:

If I was invited by [mubtadi'ah] innovators to attend their Masjid to deliver a sermon or a piece of admonition should I attend or refuse?

No, do not refuse if the people of innovation invite you to the Masjid to deliver a sermon, admonish them or establish a seminar or a lecture. However, it is upon you to address the innovation that they are falling into. You must address the innovation and clarify its harms, and [do this] by utilising the verses of the Quran and Prophetic Ahadeeth as a proof. Perhaps Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will guide those of his servants that he chooses to guide through this talk, admonition and sermon; and you will receive the reward. And Allah knows best.

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan was asked:

"Are the groups to be associated with or are they to be abandoned?"

He replied, "When the intent behind mixing with them is to call them to adhere to the Book and the Sunnah and to leave the error, for the one who has knowledge and insight, then this is something good. And this is from calling to Allaah. As for when this mixing is for the sake of friendliness with them and companionship with them, without calling them, and without clarifying, then this is not permissible.

It is not permissible for a person that he should mix with those who oppose [the truth] except from an angle within which there is a legislated benefit, from calling them to the correct Islaam, and explanation of the truth to them so that they may return. As Ibn Mas'ood went to the Innovators who were in the mosque and who stood over them and rejected their bidýah. And also Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with them both) who went to the Khawaarij and debated with them and repelled their doubts and then amongst them were those who returned (to the truth). Hence, mixing with them is from this angle, then this is desired. And if they then persist upon their falsehood it is obligatory to leave them and shun them, and to make jihad against them for the sake of Allaah". (Al-Ajwibah al-Mufeedah p.12).
