The Danger of Speaking About Allah Without Knowledge and Discussing Individuals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh says: Yusuf al-Qaradawi has spread corruption in the land through his corruption.

Answer:
Leave us alone with specific names. Leave us alone. The question was not about this. Yes. Allah the Mighty and Majestic will hold every person accountable. A person should fear for himself. Yusuf al-Qaradawi and others. Every person is responsible for himself and for what he says. There is no word that is spoken except that Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, has a Watcher over it. If you lie to people...
...then this is a trivial matter, and one is severely held accountable for it, and it is among the major sins. So what about the one who lies about Allah and His Messenger, may Allah protect us from that, and says, "Allah has made such and such lawful, and Allah has forbidden such and such," without evidence? The matter is very serious. A person should ask Allah for well-being, hold his tongue from speaking about Allah without knowledge, and not let Allah test him with the tested ones, so-and-so and so-and-so. We ask Allah to keep us and you safe from speaking about Him without knowledge, and to grant us beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
