Some students of knowledge, when I tell them: So-and-so the scholar has erred in such-and-such; he says: No, he is more knowledgeable than you and me.

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some students of knowledge, when I tell them that so-and-so the scholar has erred in such-and-such, he says: No, he is more knowledgeable than you and me. You do not tell people that so-and-so has erred in such-and-such, and so-and-so the scholar has erred in such-and-such and such-and-such, because this leads to nothing but harm.

Answer:
But if you have knowledge and the error is clear, there is no harm; point out the error. As for you holding people accountable in gatherings, saying so-and-so erred in such-and-such and so-and-so, this is not permissible.
