A Guiding Word on the Criticism of Some Students of Knowledge Toward Preachers and Scholars

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: A rift and division have occurred among some students of knowledge due to the criticism of some of the preachers and scholars who are present. Is there any guidance from you? And may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You heard the answer that enmity is not permissible between believers in general, so how can it be among students of knowledge? Students of knowledge are more deserving of brotherhood and love among themselves, for they are brothers and their methodology is one, so how do they become enemies? If a difference occurs in an issue that has a perspective of consideration, there is no forbidding in matters of independent legal reasoning, as the scholars said: there is no forbidding in matters of independent legal reasoning, and they do not necessitate enmity. So the occurrence of enmity over such matters is from ignorance, or from Shaytan. So the brothers and the students of knowledge should leave this arrogance and this enmity in matters of independent legal reasoning and secondary matters.
And matters that are open to interpretation; it is possible that the truth is with you, and it is possible that the truth is with your brother, so there should be no coldness between you, or a severing of ties in these matters. Yes.
