Sitting with the people of Bida’a

Moderator: He says: could the story of Abu Talib be used as proof in the prohibition of mixing with people of Bida’a (innovation within religion)? Sheikh: Yes, because the people of Bida’a (innovation within religion) invite people to evil and prevent them from good. If someone wanted to listen, for example, to a tape of so-and-so from the scholars (of Islam), Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan for example, may Allah protect him, and said: 'I heard a tape of a sheikh called Saleh Al-Fawzan, Mashaa Allah, it was good!' They say, 'No, don’t listen to him. He is a “Jami”, he is “Murji’a”!' Liars! These are advocates of righteous reform, Sheikh Saleh, Sheikh Muhammad Aman al-Jami, advocates of righteous reform, advocates of goodness, advocates of Tawheed, and advocates of Sunnah.
