Condemning the errors of those called preachers and responding to them

The questioner:
This is a question from one of the students of the College of Sharia, named Muhammad Hamid al-'Anzi. He says: What is Your Eminence's guidance for students of knowledge or others who see those who are called preachers making errors day after day? Then they openly condemn them in public, so what is your opinion of this action? And what is the better course of action, or do you hope for that? Your guidance, may Allah preserve you.

The Shaykh:
I did not understand the question.

The questioner:
The question says that there are some among those who call themselves preachers who make errors,

The Shaykh:
Who are those who call themselves preachers? A person does not call himself a preacher or a follower of the Sunnah. Those who call themselves preachers are not calling to themselves. To praise himself and name himself for preaching, this is calling to himself, as Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the word of Allah the Exalted: He said in it that there is sincerity in the call, because some people only call to themselves and do not call to Allah. One should be aware of this. Yes.

The questioner:
And within their question, they ask: What is your opinion regarding responding to their errors and what they say? Should it be done in the same way they do it, openly and in front of the public, or by another means?

The Shaykh:
Responding to them is the responsibility of the scholars of knowledge. Their errors are written down if they are established from them, and they are presented to the scholars of knowledge, and they are the ones who respond to them. We do not allow anyone to respond and for another to respond to him, and for them to go back and forth. We do not allow this, because this is chaos, scientific chaos. Yes.
