The interaction of a committee member with one who rebukes him without a valid reference
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister, Honorable Shaykh, I have seen some fatwas that highlight the enjoining of good and forbidding of evil, where when someone rebukes a person, he says, "So-and-so has failed, and so-and-so has failed," without any basis. How should a member of the committee deal with this?
Answer:
Tell him, "So-and-so is not a reference for me. The one who issued this fatwa is not a reference for me. I have references I turn to, and I have a system I follow. No one interferes in the affairs of the committee."
