THE WRITER CONTINUES:

"... we cannot force them to take this leaflet down or cancel the conference, its going to happen, the main thing the advice was given so the obligation is lifted..." RESPONSE: Yes correct كلنا من آدم و آدم من التراب We are all from Adam and Adam is from dirt. Therefore, provide compelling evidence to persuade the brothers about why having a tele-link with the aforementioned Shaykh is contrary to the way of the Salaf. Thus far, the brothers have responded to all your arguments with their own responses and questions that you have not addressed. Yes, it's true that you cannot compel them; only the proof can sway them. THE WRITER CONTINUES: "... whether they accept it or not is upon them. So at this point I see no need to further indulge in speaking on this topic in this group may Allaah grant everyone success..." RESPONSE: آلآن وقد عصيت قبل؟ Now you want to refrain from discussing it in your chatroom? Mashallah, we should commend you for that performance. Insha Allah, many positive outcomes will arise from your discussions in the chatroom. Finally, ameen to your dua for everyone to be granted success. AbuFajr AbdulFattaah Bin Uthman
