Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our time, young people who are inexperienced in age have spread, declaring the rulers and the senior scholars to be disbelievers, and declaring disbelievers those who differ with them on some matters. He says: Please inform us about this, may Allah grant you success, and how should we deal with them?
Answer:
This is the methodology of the Khawarij; this is the methodology of the Khawarij. And whoever does this takes on the ruling of the Khawarij. So you must advise them against this matter. At the very least, it is backbiting and talebearing—at the very least. And backbiting the scholars and backbiting the people of good is more severe than backbiting others. This is not permissible. Yes.
