Question:
O Shaykh, does mere teaching in freemixing settings expell a person from the methodology of Ahlussunnah?
Answer:
Whoever was from the Salafis but his Ēmān and relliance upon Allah became weak; and turned to teaching in freemixing schools, whilst attesting to that he is sinning, and notifies the people that he is wrong and mistaken, he would be a sinner and not an innovator.
His share of Salafiyyah and uprightness would diminish in accordance to his sin, whereby he is not given the title upon its absolute nor is it taken away from him upon its absolute.
However if he was to do this while taking it as religion, worshipping Allah by way of his teaching while freemixing, he would be due to this an innovator.
Because worshipping by way of sin turns it into an innovation.
Similar to what you will find in the freemixing fatāwa of Al-Jābiri, wherein he calls the callers to Allah to the making use of freemixing for calling to Allah, teaching and other than this.
And I have brought this to attention in my refutation of him entitled: (The unveiling evidences…).
