Hizbiyah means partisan loyalty to a deviant ideology that opposes the Qur’an and Sunnah. A hizb is not required to be organized; it is any group that clings to false beliefs and argues for them. If they are organized, their corruption is even greater.

Shaykh Aḥmad al-Najmī explains the correct principles of boycotting ahl al-bidʿah. He emphasises that boycotting is permissible only when it brings benefit and may lead the innovator to repent.
