Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Some of the students, may Allah guide them and us to the truth, show loyalty to those Muslims who attend their Shaykh and agree with their views, and they disavow the rest of the Muslims, describing them as people of desires and followers of religious innovations (bid'ah) and misguidance. What is your opinion of them? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Students of knowledge are a model for people, so they must be brothers who love one another. If people see them cutting ties and becoming hostile, they become a bad model. If people see them loving one another and maintaining contact, they become a good model for people. How do you call people? How do you call Muslims to love one another? How do you say, “Read what Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hujurat 49:10]”? So why do students of knowledge not reconcile among themselves before they reconcile among the people? They are more deserving of that. Yes.
