Question:
Shaykh, what is the condemned eloquence?
Answer:
The condemned eloquence is that which praises falsehood, encourages evil, and incites corruption on earth. The orators are called to the gates of Hell, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described them: whoever obeys them will be thrown into it. Those who preach during times of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), inciting people to evil, to killing and the killed, and to revoking obedience to the rulers—these are corrupters. That is, they use their eloquence and rhetoric for evil and to stir up fitnah. Yes.
