Among blameworthy knowledge is for common Muslims to engage in discussions about issues they do not understand or even to listen to the arguments of the people of innovation, such as salafis and others. Early Muslims said, Listening to the people of innovation blackens the heart.;

Scholars also mention that the way with the people of innovation is to avoid them: one does not listen to their arguments or debate them, especially without knowledge. The job of responding to them is for those who have the knowledge and understanding to do so. It is noteworthy, for example, that only a small number of the Companions (Allah be pleased with them) debated or argued with the Khawarij when they appeared; they rest busied themselves with that which concerned them, which was to travel the path of the next life by seeking beneficial knowledge and acting upon it. And all good lies in following those who have gone by.
