Naming preachers when criticizing their erroneous methodologies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on naming some preachers when criticizing them to warn people of their erroneous methodology?
The Shaykh:
A speaker, and what?
The questioner:
Naming some preachers when criticizing them to warn people of their erroneous methodology; because many people have complete trust in these preachers, so it does not occur to them that they are wrong, even if they hear general speech criticizing their methodology.
The Shaykh:
It depends on the benefit. If the benefit lies in naming him so that he is known and avoids his error, then there is no harm in naming him. If there is no benefit in naming him, he should be mentioned and the error explained without mentioning his name, according to the benefit and what is best. Yes.
