QUESTION

Is it permissible for Ahlus-Sunnah to teach 'Arabic to Ahlul-Bid'ah?

ANSWER by Shaykh Rabee' ibn Haadee Al-Madkhalee, well-known scholar and retired professor from the Islaamic University of Al-Madeenah

The Salafee must make his lessons for the Salafiyyoon. If some other people are inclined to come and hear this good thing from this Salafee, then no one is to be prevented. No one is to be prevented, since this is a way of giving da'wah to the Way of Allaah, the Glorified and Exalted. And we are ordered to convey this da'wah to the black person and the white person, to the disbeliever and the Muslim as well.

Goodness will not be spread, nor will tawheed, nor will the Sunnah, unless we convey this knowledge to the people.

So I open up a class in the masjid, or in my home, and some people come and I do not know if they are innovators or people of the Sunnah. I say to them, "Come in, welcome," and the one that Allaah wants good for will benefit, may Allaah bless you, and we will not prevent them, in shaa' Allaah. May Allaah bless you.
