The ruling on mentioning a scholar's error by name or mentioning only his disagreement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it true that if one mentions an error by one of the scholars, he does not mention his name publicly, but only mentions his disagreement? Because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention the names of the hypocrites, but rather warned against their actions.
Answer:
If there is no benefit in mentioning him, he is not mentioned. One points out his error and does not mention him. Yes.
