Question:
The questioner from Libya asks: Who speaks on the critique and vindication of narrators?
Answer:
We seek help from Allah. The critique and vindication of narrators belongs to the scholars of hadith: Imam Ahmad, al-Bukhari, Muslim, and Ibn Ma'in. As for the rabble-rousers and these pretenders to knowledge, it is not permissible for them to speak on the critique and vindication of narrators. They say[Al-A'raf 7:33] and they speak about people and backbite them, while they know nothing. It is not permissible for them. Yes.
