Insulting or disgracing is not advising - الفوزان

Questioner: May Allaah Grant you with good - person of Honour, the questioner is asking: In current times the use of insults like, "Such and such person is not (or no longer) Salafee" or "He is not from the Salafees". Do such expressions dictate that the person being talked about has become an innovator? Or is it a must that the evidences for his mistakes must be clarified before placing such a ruling on him?
                                      
Answer: By Allaah, I warn against such insults. Alhumdulilah, the children of the Muslims and the students of knowledge, all of them are upon goodness - all upon the 'Aqeedah of the Salaf. Even if some of them are deficient in certain areas or have ignorance, they can't be casted out if Salafiyyah because of this. 

Such insults are not permissible; between Muslim brothers, students of knowledge and the children of the Muslims in the lands of the Muslims.

None of these insults are permissible.

One must advise if they see a mistake in their brother, then advise him.

As for claiming others as not being a Salafee then the claimant most likely doesn't even know what Salafiyyah truly is. 

Some claim to be Salafee but in reality don’t actually know what it really is.

If you were to ask him what Salafiyyah truly is, he won't be able to tell you.
