Advice regarding those who frequently engage in the critique and vindication of people

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is your advice regarding those who frequently engage in the critique and vindication of people in this age?

Answer:
This is not permissible for him, and this is not the critique and vindication (al-jarh wa al-ta'dil); this is backbiting. The critique and vindication is in the science of hadith and the chain of narration (isnad). Yes.
