Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. Is it sufficient to critique character, or is it necessary to also critique the people who possess character? He says: May Allah reward you. Some students of knowledge test students by saying, "What is your opinion of so-and-so?" and "What is your view of so-and-so?" Is this method correct?
Answer:
The obligatory requirement is that the one being tested is tested by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Whoever follows the Messenger of Allah and follows others. Whoever follows others is misguided. Whoever follows the Messenger is the one who is guided. And if you obey him, you will be guided. And if you obey him
