The Scale of Moderation in Judging People and Speaking About Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Another question related to the topic: What is the scale of moderation between those who accuse the da'wah workers and scholars, disparage them, mock them, and track their mistakes, and those who honor them and follow their tracks even if they make mistakes?
Answer:
They do not follow their tracks even if they make mistakes? No, but they follow their tracks as long as they do not make mistakes. As for tracking their mistakes and errors to make people disdain them and turn away from them, this is also not permissible, as we mentioned. If the intention is to disparage the individuals and diminish their status, this is not permissible. But if the intention is to clarify the truth without targeting the individuals, this is necessary. This is part of sincere advice. Yes.
