Is it permissible to speak about the errors of the shaykhs from among the people of innovation?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: Some beginner students of knowledge speak about the errors of some of the shaykhs from among the people of innovation. What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
We have answered this question. We said that it is obligatory for the student of knowledge to occupy himself with seeking knowledge, and to restrain his tongue from speaking about people in general, and about scholars in particular. He should hold his tongue and seek knowledge. He should seek knowledge until he knows the correct from the incorrect. Perhaps this one who is speaking did not understand the reality, and he thinks this is an error when it is not an error, because his knowledge is little and deficient, so he thinks the correct is an error and the error is correct. So it is obligatory for the young Muslims and the students of knowledge to occupy themselves with seeking beneficial knowledge and to leave the gossip and speaking about people. Yes.
