How can a relative who has apostatized from Islam and entered an innovated sect be convinced to turn away from that, and how can the innocence of the Mother of Believers Aisha and the virtue of the Companions be proven, as well as the error, deception, hypocrisy, and polytheism of the innovators, along with providing historical evidence?
Muslims must prevent themselves and others from being influenced by the words of the people of innovation (Ahl al-Bid'ah). This is achieved by seeking and mastering religious knowledge. For those who cannot master it, they should avoid debating with the people of falsehood (Ahl al-Batil) for fear of being deceived by their specious arguments. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the virtue and status of the Companions, forbade slandering or harming them, and encouraged following their Sunnah. Accusing Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) of what Allah has cleared her of is an act of disbelief by consensus, because it is a denial of the Qur'an.
