You forgot the other option.
Option C: Neither participate in Bidah nor pack your bags. Stay there and give dawah.
Is the mosque the only place to stay?
If the locals make problems and turn violent... retreat... For you have done your job of delivering the message.
Try again next year inshaAllah.
Our job is only to deliver the message hidayat comes from Allah Ta'ala.
There is a youtube video of a story of a Latino convert. He first heard about Islam in a bar when his muslim friend while drinking alcohol talked about it. Does this mean Daees should go into bars and start drinking to give dawah. Then you might say 'I don't do anything that is outright haram.' Isn't bidah haraam?
There will be a group during yawm al qiyamah who will come to sides of hawl al kawthar, and the Angels will say to Rasoolullah , that these people were bidatis and Rasoolullah will say “Away with those who changed after I was gone!â€. This hadith is mentioned in both bukhari and Muslim.
Doing a haraam act for 'dawah' is in itself haraam. Good people doing bidah will make more people comfortable with that particular act of bidah.
If anyone has the guts to risk being turned away from hawl al kawthar in name of 'dawah', then I have nothing more to say.
