What is the guidance regarding those who call from outside this country to some of the scholars with the intention of stirring up fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the scholars?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Recently, some individuals have appeared who call from outside this country to some of the scholars in this country. Their aim is not to seek knowledge or look for benefit, but rather their concern is to sow fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and enmity among the scholars and shaykhs. They move from one scholar to another to stir up fitnah and hostility between the scholars. The question is: What is the position to take toward these people? And what is your advice to us?

Answer:
By Allah, if you are certain of this and that they are not seeking guidance, but rather their aim is to stir up fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and create contradiction among the people of knowledge in their answers, then you should warn against them and contact the scholars they call. You should make it clear to them that these people’s aim is not benefit, but rather to stir up fitnah, so they should not answer them. Yes. If you are certain of this.
