The questioner says: Is it permissible to describe a person as a "Sahwi" or otherwise, according to what the caller means, describing him as a partisan or a Sahwi without evidence, while he is innocent of these descriptions?
Answer:
It is not permissible to mock, taunt, or use nicknames,[Al-Hujurat 49:11], and this is not permissible. However, one should provide proper guidance without belittling the one who has erred, guiding them properly with kind words. Allah the Exalted says: [Al-Baqarah 2:83] [Al-Baqarah 2:83]. Yes.
