Warning
the people against deviants
Question: Is it permissible to mention peoples' names
and characters when one wants to criticise them and their
thinking?
Response:
If someone writes something that contradicts the pure Sharee'ah,
and distributes that material, or if he propagtes that view
in the media, it becomes compulsory to refute him and expose
the falsehood of what he says. There is nothing wrong in mentioning
that person's name or in warning people about him if he calls
to innovation, shirk,
or if he calls people to what Allaah has prohibited or to
disobedience. Until this day, there are knowledgeable and
believing people from the callers to the truth and bearers
of the Sharee'ah
fulfilling this obligation, sincerely for Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) and for the benefit of His servants, rebuking
the wrong, inviting to the truth, warning others against those
who propagate falsehood and destructive rhetoric.
And
Allaah is the Expounder of (all) success.
