Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If one identifies the one who slanders our mother Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) as a disbeliever and a hypocrite, is this action permissible, or is it an excess?
Answer:
This is its ruling, but if there is harm in announcing it, if harm will result, then do not announce it, in order to avert fitnah (trial, discord or temptation),[Al-An'am 6:108] that is, [Al-An'am 6:108]. Also, if this serves to stir up this slander and incite it, it is not permissible; leave it alone. Yes.

And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah
وَلَا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِlest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge
فَيَسُبُّوا اللَّهَ عَدْوًا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ
