Shaykh Ramzaan's Answer to: [What is your advice for] a small student of knowledge who busies himself with Jarh wat-Ta'dee​l?

Question: [What is your advice for] a small student of knowledge who busies himself with Jarh wat-Ta’deel?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ramzaan al-Haajiree (hafidhahullaah) answered:

"If what is intended by “Jarh wa-Ta’deel” is speaking out against the innovated groups, such as [Firqat] al-Tabligh and al-Ikhwaan [al-Muslimeen], then may Allaah grant him success! Even if he’s a little boy, aged 5. For example, if this boy warns against another boy who smokes cigarettes, and he says “so and so smokes cigarettes!” Which is more severe – warning against a person of desires or a person of (innovated) doubts?
It should not become a habit of his to say “so-and-so is from the people of innovation” or “so-and-so is this-and-that” - No! These affairs are for the people of knowledge. As for an affair which the people of knowledge have already finished and spoken about, then it won't harm him. Even if you find a child saying 'Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is from the people of bid'ah' - then he has been truthful! (Yusuf Al-Qaradawi) is from the people of bid'ah, and this is well-known, that he is a person of fitan (mischief). He (Al-Qaradawi) is from the biggest of the Khawaarij of this era. If it is known who the biggest Majoosi (fire-worshipper) is, and who the biggest Jew is, (then likewise) from the biggest Khawaarij of this era is this man - Al-Qaradawi."
