These people are people of innovation. If by taking them as friends, you will get them out of their innovation and back to the Sunnah, this is permissible.

But if you are not or they will not accept this, you shouldn’t take them as friends.

I recently had a cousin visit me and I noticed that one of the books she is reading is on Suffism. This sister has been practising for years so I don’t think it’s out of curiosity she is reading it nor is a ‘phase’ she is going through. I would like to ask, what is the best way to approach such a sensitive matter and advice her accordingly?

A Shia friend of mine does not believe that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was illiterate. He also doesn’t believe in any of the hadiths of Sahih Al Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and so on. Is he a disbeliever—will he have to abide in hell forever?
