If He Agrees with Their Creed, He Becomes One of Them
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that when a scholar agrees with the innovators on any matter of creed or fundamental principles, he is considered to be part of them and becomes an innovator himself.
Questioner:
If a scholar from Ahl al-Sunnah agrees with Ahl al-Bidʿah in an issue from the issues of ʿaqīdah, is he aligned with them?
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān:
Yes – If he agrees with them on an issue from the issues of ʿaqīdah or from the foundations (ʼuṣūl), he becomes an innovator.
