The Shaykh (rahima-hullaah)
mentions:
((If
backbiting of the layman ranks amongst the major sins, then
backbiting of the scholar is much greater. This is because
the effects of backbiting of the scholar does not rest at
him only, rather it rests upon him and that which he possesses
in knowledge of the Sharee'ah.))
