Reviling & dishonouring the Major Scholars


Question 25:

It is noticed in this time that some of the students of knowledge revile the major scholars if they (the scholars) do not say that which agrees with their desires or their wish or their beliefs, what is your opinion?

Answer 25:

We ask Allaah for guidance for ourselves and them, and the people of knowledge and other than them are obligated to guard against backbiting and to respect the honour of the Muslims, and to guard against tale carrying. Its an obligation to guard against all of these due to backbiting and tale carrying being the most abhorrent of characteristics; therefore the Muslim is obligated to guard against all of them.

Backbiting is to mention about your brother that which he dislikes and tale carrying is to transmit evil speech from people to another people or from an individual to another individual, because it gives rise to enmity and rancour. And all of the Muslims are obligated to guard against backbiting and tale carrying, and to respect the honour of the Muslims, especially the people of knowledge, to respect their honour and guard against speech in regards to their honour.

As for (the speech concerning) the one who makes apparent evil or innovation then it is not considered backbiting him.1
