Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him) Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: What is the difference between criticism and vindication of narrators and spying?
Answer:
The difference between criticism and vindication of narrators is that this is in the science of chains of narration. Criticism and vindication of narrators in the science of chains of narration is for the purpose of authenticating the hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and denying lying regarding it, so it is for a great benefit. As for backbiting and spying, this is harm, pure harm, and there is no benefit in it. Yes.
