Is it permissible to boycott members of the "Islamic Association" at the university for promoting people of innovation (Ahl al-Bid'ah)? Is it permissible for the association to allow women to participate in the Shura? And is it Islamically permissible for men and women to sit in one room, exchanging glances and not lowering their gaze?

Calling to Allah is an honor that necessitates the preacher's purification from sins. It prohibits empowering people of innovation (bid'ah) and misguidance in media platforms. It is obligatory to warn against them and shun them, not to glorify them, for they deserve chastisement. And whoever aids them deserves punishment, the least of which is dismissal from leading Muslims. Furthermore, forbidden mixing (ikhtilat) is prohibited in da'wah institutions and Islamic channels, due to the tribulations and pretexts therein that lead to forbidden acts. Therefore, it is obligatory to condemn those who commit these violations and to separate from them if they do not respond.
