Warning Against Scholars of Misguidance and Those with Deviant Thought: Is This Considered Backbiting and Talebearing?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is warning against scholars of misguidance, those with deviant thought, and people of desires considered backbiting and talebearing? What is the criterion for this?

Answer:
What? He says: Warning against scholars. If you have knowledge and insight from the Book and the Sunnah, and you have an understanding of error and truth and misguidance, and you have the ability to explain, then you must clarify, and this is not backbiting or talebearing. This is part of sincere advice. But if you sit and criticize people and belittle them, saying so-and-so has no good in him and so-and-so is such-and-such, that is not permissible and it does not bring any good. This only increases evil. This is not for just anyone; it is only for people of knowledge and insight, and people of the correct method in forbidding evil and refuting it.
