Attacking the Shaykhs and Defaming the Scholars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: This is a question that has been asked many times. He says: There are those who attack some of the shaykhs, such as Shaykh Abdullah ibn Jibril (may Allah have mercy on him), and describe him with some inappropriate descriptions. What is your guidance for such people? And what is your advice for those who have made defaming scholars and making supplications their occupation? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
These people do not harm anyone but themselves; they do not harm the shaykhs, they only harm themselves. And even if we assume that some of the shaykhs have some error, if he is alive, he is to be advised, and if he is dead, one seeks forgiveness for him, because he is your brother; you seek forgiveness for him, you ask Allah for his forgiveness, reward, and recompense. Yes.
Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faithرَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ
[Al-Hashr 59:10]
, yes.
