Guidance for those who criticize the scholars and the rulings of the Shari'ah

Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, what is Your Eminence’s guidance regarding some of the writers today who criticize the scholars, describe those who hold fast to the Sunnah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as extremists, and describe some of the rulings of the Shari'ah as racist and not part of the religion, such as hijab and free mixing of men and women, and the like?

Answer:
These people are only harming themselves, and may Allah protect us from that. Their articles and writings will come back to harm them, and they do not harm the Muslims, nor do they harm Islam, praise be to Allah. Rather, they reveal the hypocrisy of the one who writes them. These writings reveal them and reveal what they have of hypocrisy and hatred for this religion and its people. So their harm is upon themselves, in their dealings with people, who know them, and in their dealings with Allah, that they anger Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in all cases. They do not harm anyone but themselves. Yes.
