Shaykh
Al-Fawzaan said, "...If one from amongst them [the Salafi scholars]
makes an error in an issue, we [the other Salafi scholars] make clear
the truth in that issue with the evidence and this does not decrease our
love for the one [the Salafi scholar(s)] who is refuted nor does it
decrease his status.
Imam
Malik -rahimahullaah- said: “There is no one from amongst us except
that he will refute or be refuted, except the companion of this grave.”
Meaning the Messenger of Allah.
If
we refute some of the people of knowledge and some of the people of
virtue, this does not mean that we hate him or dispraise him, we only
make clear what is correct. For this reason some of the scholars, when
some of their colleagues made an error, said, “So and so is beloved to
us, however the truth is more beloved to us than him." This is the
correct way.
Do
not understand from this that to refute [i.e. for some Salafi scholars
to refute] some of the [other Salafi] scholars in an issue where they
have erred, means lowering them or having hatred for them.
Rather
the scholars have not ceased refuting each other [from the time of the
Salaf] and at the same time being brothers and having mutual love.
It
is not allowed for us to take everything that an individual says
unquestionably, whether he is correct or in error, because that is
partisanship [even if he is a Salafi scholar]..."
