Scholars

Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh Muqbil explains that a detailed scholarly criticism is sufficient, even if only one scholar has refuted an innovator. Truth depends on evidence, not on consensus, and a trustworthy scholar’s refutation must be accepted.
Sincerity and Righteous Deeds
Shaykh al-Uthaymin explains that Allah ﷻ hastens worldly trials for those He loves, purifying them and expiating sins. Easy life may indicate Allah’s ﷻ delay of punishment, and true reward increases with the severity of hardship, encouraging patience and gratitude.

Shaykh Muhammad Bazmul explains that detailed criticism takes precedence over praise, even if praised by respected scholars. Praise does not nullify evidence-based refutation, and those who persist in error often refuse repentance due to pride and fear of losing followers.
Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh Muhammad Ramzān al-Hājirī advises that a young student may warn against known innovated groups and clearly identified innovators, but should not habitually label people as innovators. Such detailed criticism is reserved for qualified scholars.
