What is the ruling on sitting and speaking with a person who claims to be religious in Murshidiya, which is a religion that does not acknowledge the existence of God and considers a human being to be a god, knowing that this person does not pray or fast?
The Murshidiyya are a sect of extremist Nusayris that emerged under the patronage of French colonialism, and their leader claimed divinity. It is necessary to strive to guide this man with wisdom, and there is no harm in sitting and speaking with him and opening the Qur’an in his presence to invite him to Islam, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do that with the polytheists.
