Guidance for those who insult scholars and belittle them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many questions, may Allah preserve you, regarding the issue of some young men who insult scholars and belittle them, either because they disagree with them in opinion, or for other reasons, and perhaps they even accuse them of having bad intentions. So what is your guidance, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
First, we ask: Are these people scholars? If they were truly scholars, they would not belittle the people of knowledge. This indicates their ignorance. You cannot control an ignorant person; these are the ones who insult scholars. These are ignorant people. If they were scholars, they would not insult scholars. So these people are of no account and should not be paid attention to. The people of knowledge have their status, and they are the heirs of the prophets, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
And the people of the Sunnah and the community are not harmed by those who abandon them or those who oppose them. The scholars are at the forefront of the people of the Sunnah and the community. And praise be to Allah, especially in this land. And in other lands, the scholars who are upon the truth and upon the methodology of the Salaf are not harmed by those who abandon them or those who oppose them. Because they are from the saved sect. Yes.
