What is the position regarding the disagreement among scholars in judging individuals and their methodologies?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner asks: What is your guidance on the issue of scholars disagreeing in their judgment of a person, his methodology, and his beliefs, where some condemn his methodology and path absolutely, while others praise and commend his path? What is the best way and the most upright path for a student of knowledge to follow in this matter? And this last one also says: If the opinions of scholars differ regarding one of the preachers active on the scene today, with one group praising him absolutely and another group condemning him absolutely, what is the position that the one seeking the truth should take? Is there a criterion by which a student of knowledge should proceed in this regard?

The Shaykh : Yes, this question was answered yesterday, O Abu al-Hasan. It is not appropriate to repeat a question if you have already been given an answer to it. Yes.
