Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We often see quarreling and hatred among some of the students of knowledge from the people of the Sunnah, with each one warning against the other. He says: What is your advice in this matter?
Answer:
This is serious. This means that enmity arises among the students of knowledge and among the students. It is supposed to be that one reconciles people and restrains the tongue from criticizing people. This is not permissible; it is backbiting, talebearing, and criticizing people. It is supposed to be the opposite: that you reconcile people, that you gather people on the fear of Allah, that you gather people on love, and that you establish brotherhood among them. Yes. Those who have been afflicted with this affliction must repent to Allah and abandon this matter. Yes.
