What is your advice for those who vehemently attack some of the scholars like Shaykh ‘Abdullah Ibn Jibreen?
Question:
“And this (here) is a question which has recurred a lot. He says: “There are people who vehemently attack some of the scholars, such as Shaykh ‘Abdullah Ibn Jibreen, may Allah have mercy upon him, and characterise him with some very inappropriate characteristics. So what is your advice for the likes of these people? And what is your advice for those who take criticising the scholars and callers (du’aat) as their occupation, may Allah be good to you?”
Answer:
“These people do not harm except themselves and they do not harm the scholars. They do not harm except themselves. Even if we were to assume that some scholars have certain mistakes, then if he is still alive, he is to be advised. And when he is already dead, then he is to be sought forgiveness for, because he is your brother. You should ask for forgiveness for him. You ask Allah for forgiveness, recompense and reward for him. Yes.
{“Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith…”} [Surah Al-Hashr 59:10]
Yes.”

السؤال:وهذا سؤال تكرر كثيراً يقول: هناك من يتهجم على بعض المشايخ مثل الشيخ عبد الله بن جبرين رحمه الله ويصفه ببعض الأوصاف الغير مناسبة، فما توجيهكم لمثل هؤلاء؟ و ما نصيحتكم للذين جلعوا من جرح العلماء والدعاة شغلاً لهم؟
جواب الشيخ صالح الفوزان حفظه الله: هؤلاء لا يضرون إلا أنفسهم ولا يضرون المشايخ، لايضرون إلا أنفسهم، ولو فرضنا أن بعض المشايخ عنده بعض الخطأ، فإن كان حياً يناصح، وإن كان ميتاً يُستغفر له، لأنه أخوك، تستغفر له وتسأل الله له المغفرة والثواب و الأجر، نعم، ربنا اغفر لنا ولإخواننا الذين سبقونا بالإيمان، نعم
