Advice for Students of Knowledge Regarding Mutual Insults and Severing Ties

Question:
A questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, do you have a word to direct to the students of knowledge regarding the mutual attacks, severing of ties, boycotts, and insults occurring among them through websites? And what is the ruling on exploiting mosques for this purpose?

Answer:
This is not the character of students of knowledge. Students of knowledge communicate with one another, cooperate in righteousness and piety, and love one another. What is the benefit of knowledge if they are hostile to one another, sever ties, and discord arises among them? Where will the common people go if they see the students of knowledge like this? It is obligatory for students of knowledge to be a good example, to act upon their knowledge, to communicate with one another, and to cooperate in calling to Allah, in righteousness, and in piety. They should hold meetings to consult in them and manage the problems that arise, seeking solutions for them. This is the obligation of students of knowledge. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah forgive you.
