The esteemed scholar, Sheikh AbdulAziz Ar-Rajhi (may Allāh preserve him), said:
«فمن ناصر أهل البدع ووالاهم، وذب عنهم وصاحبهم، ولو كان من أهل السنة يهجر ! لأنه بفعله هذا صار مبتدعا، كونه يوالي أهل البدع صار منهم !»
"Whoever supports the people of innovation, allies with them, defends them, or associates with them — even if he is from Ahlus-Sunnah — is to be boycotted! For through such actions, he has become an innovator himself; by allying with the people of innovation, he has become one of them!"
