Video: Sheikh Ash-Shithree gives General Advice not to be too hasty in Al-Jarh Wat-Ta'deel

In this short video clip the Sheikh Naasir Ash-Shithree gives some general advice to the brothers not to be too hasty in the issue of Al-Jarh (i.e. Criticism of Individuals and Groups). The advice is general and should be taken that way. One of the general ideas of the Sheikh's advice is that we should use wisdom when mentioning specific names of individuals and groups in our refutations because some people are stuck on their person that they follow or the group that they follow, so if you mention them by name to them right from the start they won't want to listen to the rest of what you have to say. Sometimes it is from wisdom to just refute the ideas and concepts of the individuals and groups without mentioning names. Everything the Sheikh says in this short video clip should be taken in general and the rest of the articles in this section should also be read and reviewed and taken into account to put what the Sheikh says here in its proper place and gain the proper perspective on the entire issue of Al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel and Ar-Radd 'alal Mukhaalif (i.e. the criticism and refutation and certification and praise of individuals and groups).
