What is your advice for the students who spread the words of scholars to others?

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, some people are publishing on the internet that you warn against the slackers who let Islam down, and they say that Shaykh Rabī‘ al-Madkhallī is among them. What is your response to those who fabricate lies about the scholars and the people of knowledge? And what is your advice for the students who spread these statements?

Answer:
My advice to the students is that they seek knowledge and leave these matters alone. They should not get involved in them, nor say, "So-and-so said this, and so-and-so said that," whether on the internet or otherwise. They should focus on seeking knowledge, knowing the truth, and acting upon it, and leave people's statements alone, such as so-and-so criticizing someone and so-and-so correcting them. That is not their concern. Their concern is seeking knowledge, knowing the truth, and acting upon it.
