Some young people, upon hearing a slip in a tape by one of the shaykhs, respond by criticizing that shaykh

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some young people listen to some of the shaykhs' tapes, pick out the slips, and then declare that shaykh a disbeliever or an innovator. They may even write books and other things warning against them. So, Shaykh, is this action permissible, or is it not permissible?

Answer:
I have told you several times that only the people of knowledge engage in responding and criticizing. If you hear a tape and something in it is unclear to you, present it to one of the shaykhs. Perhaps you are imagining things, or you are understanding something other than what the owner of the tape intended. So, you do not rush to point out errors or respond; rather, return to the people of knowledge and present this tape or this statement to them, so that you are safe from the sin of falling into wrong understanding and speaking about the honor of the scholars.
