"There are some objections to what Dr. Zakir Naik says—(and)—everyone can make mistakes. But he is establishing evidence on non-Muslims by extracting arguments from their beliefs. This practice is considered fine and has a positive effect. And (in his speeches), he has many errors in matters of Aqeedah, which he articulates out of ignorance. I have repeatedly mentioned that he was a medical doctor. He did not obtain a PhD in formal theology. After that, he began studying, watching, and listening to people's cassettes, especially those of Ahmed Deedat (may Allah have mercy on him). So, he turned towards spreading the Islamic message. Anyone can make mistakes. Now, our methodology should be to approach him, tell him that these are your mistakes, and you (Dr. Zakir) ought to retract from them. If he does not retract from previous mistakes, we should not take his words or end up listening to him completely. Instead, listen to what is right and true and do not let those who cannot distinguish between right and wrong go to him."
