We have a group of people who appear to be
well-wishers but in actuality are guilty of two terrible prohibited actions:
Firstly, they fail to admit the mistake of a scholar and any attempt
to rectify the mistake and repel such attempts are met by tarnishing the
reputation of the opposing scholar, who’s seeking clarification, because of the
following of their desires. Animosity is created towards those who wish well by
seeking rectification of the mistake, to spread beneficial knowledge and not to
conceal it.
-'The Difference Between Advising and Defaming' by Haafidh Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalee
