Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the responses that occur between some callers to Allah the Exalted and Majestic when they differ in opinion, does severity and harshness in responding to errors contradict the saying of Allah the Exalted, "humble toward the believers"? If the intention behind the response is to vindicate the self, this is not permissible.

Answer:
As for when the intention is to clarify the truth, if the intention is to clarify the truth, then this is a required matter. The criterion is the intention of the one responding. Also, the one responding must be from the people of knowledge and insight. Not everyone who disagrees with you should be responded to when you have no knowledge and no insight, except that he did not agree or disagreed due to desire and the self, not for the sake of Allah the Exalted and Majestic.
