The Muslim's Position on the Pretenders to Knowledge and Advising Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In these days, the spread of the rulers' thinking has increased, along with belittling the scholars and criticizing them, especially since there is a man who sends these ideas to the youth in this country. The question is: What is our position regarding this man in terms of warning against him? Do we mention his name so that people know him and warn against him? Or do we suffice with warning against his ideas only? And what do you advise?

Answer:
The truth is clear, and praise be to Allah. The truth is clear, and the role model is the people of knowledge, the scholars whose knowledge and speech are followed.
As for the deviants among people and the pretenders to knowledge who have no knowledge, or who have no mindfulness of Allah or scrupulousness, or who have a bad creed, a corrupt creed, these are not to be described to you; one should warn against them.
As for reporting about him or not reporting about him, that is up to the questioner. If the public benefit is more likely, because he has reported about him, then he reports. But if the public benefit is not more likely, however, since he is an advisor before he is an advisor, perhaps he will leave this thing, perhaps he will return to the right path, it is obligatory that he is an advisor.
