Translation: Kamaal Ololade
Ash-Shaykh al-Muhaddith AbdulMuhsin al-'Abbad al-Badr, may Allaah preserve him, was asked:
"What is your advice - may Allaah preserve you - for the one who says refuting a deviant will cause division among the Muslims, and that the imperative is to keep silent on mistakes so that the Muslims can be united?
Response:
This is not correct! This is false! Rather, mistakes are to be clarified and explained and they are not to be left. As for the issue of leaving mistakes on the ground that clarifying it will cause division, the reality is that division has occured already by the deviation and straying from the correct path. What is imperative is to clarify the truth and refute the falsifier. And if the one involved in the falsehood is not from Ahlu-l-Bid'ah, but from the Ahlus-Sunnah - while he committed the error- he is to be advised and treated kindly for the objective is to correct.
