QUESTION

Is it permissible for us to clarify to the disbelievers the difference between Salafiyyah and hizbiyyah (partisanship), so as to free ourselves from their bad actions?

ANSWER by Shaykh Muhammad 'Umar Baazmool, instructor at Umm Al-Quraa University in Makkah

Yes, it is permissible for you to clarify the difference between hizbiyyah and Salafiyyah, and the differences between Salafiyyah and the other groups in order to clear yourselves of the repulsive affairs that originate from some people, since they then try to attribute them to Islaam.

Your intention in doing this should be to defend Islaam and to provide a clear, proper image of our religion of Islaam. Your intention should not be to insult or harm your brothers, nor to turn them over to the disbelievers, and Allaah knows best.
