Obligation of Renounce against Religious Innovations
Issue No.2415- If a bid‘ah (innovation) is laid in Islam (such as mischiefs committed by some corrupt governments under the banner of Islam), it is obligatory upon all Muslims especially the scholars (‘ulamā) to declare the truth and to denounce the falsehood. And if the silence of the scholars leads to degradation of the position of ‘ilm (knowledge) or it may cause others to have suspicion towards Muslim scholars, expressing the truth, in any way possible, is obligatory, though they may know that it would not be effective.
