Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who says that the scholars of the Sunnah, who may sometimes make a minor mistake, are partisan? Is this considered backbiting of them?
Answer:
Partisan? Partisan for whom? If they are partisan for individuals, this is not permissible. It is not permissible to be partisan except for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He is the role model, and it is by following him and adhering to him (peace and blessings be upon him) that one becomes part of[Al-Mujadila 58:22]. As for being partisan for a person other than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this is not permissible. Yes.
