Question:

What is your opinion on the one who says that refutations harden the heart?

Shaykh Saaleh Al Fawzaan answered:

No! Abandoning refutations hardens the heart, because the people will continue to live in error and misguidance and this will harden their hearts. As for clarifying the Truth and refuting the falsehood, then this is what softens the hearts, without a doubt. Yes.
