Refuting the Students of Knowledge

Refuting the Students of Knowledge

Question:

"It has become apparent among many people that they take charge in refuting the students of knowledge which has manifested splitting and differing, so what is your statement on this?"

Answer:

"Refuting the one who differs is imperative. However, the one who refutes is who? The ones who refute are the scholars. The ones who take charge of refutation are the scholars. The refutation should have two affairs:

1) with knowledge, and...

2) with good manners.

(Allah says:) {And debate them with that which is best} This is refutation, or rather this is the method of refutation. Yes. And this is in the important issues, as for the issues that are not important and the people are not in need of them, then don’t take them into consideration. Yes."
