Shaykh Rabi on people who Mix with the People of Innovation

On People who mix with the People of Bid’ah (Innovation) to bring them close, – Shaykh Rabi ibn Hadi said:

“If you were one who established principles, you would not have kept company with them, if you were one who established principles and knew the methodology of the Salaf and knew the dangers you were exposing yourself to, and knew those who have fallen victim from the likes of you, those who are deluded like you, by Allaah, if you were as you said, you would not have walked with the people of innovation. And many walk with the people of innovation with the argument that they are benefiting them! O my brother – they have not benefited from the Scholars, so how will they be benefited from you?!! They reject the statements of Ibn Baz (d. 1420H) and the statements of al-Albani (d. 1420H), al-Uthaymeen (d. 1421H) (may Allaah have mercy on all of them) and others from the Imams of Islam and will take from you?!! This is delusion, and ninety-nine out of a hundred times, you will end up from their followers.”
