Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence, father, there are some preachers and media personalities who make veiled references to Your Eminence, Imam Ibn Baz, and Ibn Uthaymeen, and to their fatwas. What is the position of a Muslim, as one of their children, regarding that?
Answer:
He should advise them and make it clear to them that this is one of the most severe prohibitions. There is no doubt that diminishing a Muslim, even if he is an ordinary person, is not permissible, so diminishing a scholar is all the more so. Yes.
