What is your advice for the youth who attack the scholars?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is there any advice for the young people who engage in attacking and criticizing scholars?

Answer:
It is not permissible for them to attack scholars. If they attack scholars, who will remain for the Muslims to rely upon? It is not permissible; it is not permissible to attack a Muslim, even if he is ignorant or an ordinary person. It is not permissible; it is backbiting and talebearing. How much more so if he is a scholar whom people seek rulings from and learn from? This is not permissible.
