If such a confrontation would result in greater harm than the harm of their extremism—
0:41
such as if a disbelieving enemy or a hypocrite were to exploit such a confrontation,
0:46
and utilize it to implement their schemes to strike at Islam and its people,
0:51
especially the people of the Sunnah among them—
0:54
if such a result is likely to occur,
0:57
then the denunciation should be postponed until a time when the harm diminishes or ceases,
1:02
or one should denounce both the extremists and the disbelieving enemy or hypocrite,

in order to block the path for tyrants and hypocrites

from using the refutation of extremists as a means to fight the callers to Islam and the mujahideen who are upon the truth.

In summary, it is incumbent upon the one who confronts extremism and its proponents

to strive to formulate their refutations in a manner that does not serve the enemies of the religion.
