Shaykh Dr. Salih al Fawzan Respond to Those Who Ask Scholars General Questions without Mentioning a Person Name. Then After Saying Shaykh So and So (like Shaykh Fawzan) Refuted Such and Such Person, and He did not Say Such!

Shaykh Salih al Fawzan May Allah preserve him said:

“There are some brothers, may Allah pardon them (and guide them). They are afflicted with evil intention/desires against a person, or hatred against an individual from the seekers (students) of knowledge, or the Ulima ( scholars, the people of knowledge). So they ask you a question and you answer the general question. Then they take this answer and put it against that person (they dislike, by name etc.). This is their aim against this person, that you imply to him ( their method of attacking him, because they have hatred for this person, and is against him).

So they say: So and so (scholar) said in this person is this and this, (or he is like this and like that)! And you did not even mention this person by name….or no such a person at all, that you only answer a general question (without mentioning that person name). And they put this on the person that they are against, they say (shaykh) so and so intended this person, and intended a group of personalities, and with this they come with audios, and author books with such claim saying (shaykh) so and so said this, said this person he is like this or he is like that ( claiming Shaykh so and so refuted this person or issue a fatwa against this person), and he answers about this. And the goal of theirs with this is to cause corruption between the people and to incite problems between the seekers (students) of knowledge. And this is the cause of enmity falling out between the seekers of knowledge.

So we warn you, and we ask you by Allah to keep away from this type of characteristic. And do not be mislead and misguided with this bad dislike characteristic or this bad character becomes of you. So be aware  and extremely cautious of this bad character.”

 الشيخ الفوزان يرد على من يقولون رد الشيخ علي فلان و لم يذكر اسمه…

هناك بعض الإخوان سامحهم الله يصير عندهم هوا لأحد أو بغض لأحد من طلبة العلم أو من العلماء فيسألونك عن سؤال أن تجيب عليه وهم يركبون السؤال على ذلك الشخص، وقصدهم هذا الشخص أنك تعنيه و يقولون قال فلان في فلان كذا و كذا وأنت لم تذكر لا فلان ولا علان أنت تجيب على السؤال فقط وهم يركبونه يقولون قصده فلان قصده الطائفة الفلانية و اذا بيجون بأشرطة و يؤلفون كتب بأن فلان قال في فلان كذا و أجاب عن كذا وقصدهم بهذا الإفساد بين الناس و التحريش بين طلبة العلم و إيقاع العداوة بين طلبة العلم . فنحن نحذركم و نعيدكم بالله من هذه الخصلة أن لا تغتروا بها أو تنطلي عليكم احذروا منها غاية الحذر
