You mentioned that four things corrupt the world, one of which is the half-speaker. Question: What is meant by the half-speaker?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We heard from you in yesterday’s lesson that four things corrupt the world, and you mentioned the half-speaker. The question is: What is meant by the half-speaker?

Answer:
Glory be to Allah. The half-speaker is the one who uses the science of kalam (theology) without mastering it. He uses the science of dialectics without mastering it. This is what corrupts the creed. It is not the ordinary speaker. No, it is the one who argues using the science of kalam and logic without being proficient in it. Yes.
