Advice and Reminders

Should We Hate a Student Who Makes Mistakes?

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises to first correct and guide a student who makes mistakes, as it may be due to ignorance. If he keeps repeating the error and refuses advice, then dislike him according to how serious the mistake is.

Question:

Question: If a student of knowledge falls into some mistakes, and his ʿaqīdah is generally sound, is it obligatory upon us to hate and warn against him?

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān

Advise him. It may be that he is ignorant or doesn’t know. Clarify and advise him. If he persists upon [his mistakes] then hate him in accordance to the level of his deviation.
