The Ruling on Dividing Scholars and Preachers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who divides between scholars and preachers?
Answer:
This question has been repeated from you, and we told you that this is not permissible. The scholars, praise be to Allah, are respected, honored, and benefited from. This does not mean that they are free from errors; all of you are prone to error, and the best of those who err are the ones who repent. Errors are addressed by means other than backbiting, talebearing, and slander; they are addressed through reform and advice, not through these matters of backbiting, talebearing, and slander, nor by dividing people and spreading errors. This is not permissible among Muslims.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
