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
