Warning Against Specific Individuals and Accusing Them of Factionalism

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There are those who warn against specific individuals, and when we tell them to go and advise them, they say, "I am not obligated to advise them," knowing that they accuse them of factionalism without clear evidence, and say, "This is my opinion of them, and whoever supports them is a factionalist like them." Is this action in accordance with the Shari'ah or contrary to it?

Answer:
I advise you to seek knowledge and leave these matters. Seek knowledge, and then, once you have sought knowledge, you will know the truth from the error. As for you now, you are judging people without knowledge and without insight, merely for the sake of desire or because so-and-so said this or so-and-so said that. Leave these matters, seek knowledge, devote yourselves to seeking knowledge and turning to it, and know the truth and know the falsehood. As for you judging people without knowledge and without insight, just because so-and-so said this and so-and-so said that, this is not acceptable. Yes.
