Testing People with a Particular Person – Sheikh Abdulmuhsin Al-Abbad هل يجوز أن يمتحن الناس بشخص معين؟ Is it permissible to test people with a particular person? فيقال له ما قولك في فلان؟ ثم يصنف من خلال هذا الجواب. i.e., they are asked, “What do you think of so-and-so?” Then, they are judged according to their answer. لا يجوز مثل هذا، هذا من تلاعب الشيطان بالناس، It is not permissible to do such a thing. This is from the manipulation of people by the Shaitan (devil); كونهم يشغلون أنفسهم "ايش رأيك في فلان " و"إيش رأيك في فلان” ثم بعد ذلك ينابذ أو يقرب نتيجة لهذا الجواب. them being preoccupied with “What do you think of so-and-so?” and “What do you think of so-and-so?”, then disassociating or associating oneself with the questioned person according to their answer. وإنما الواجب على كل إنسان ناصح لنفسه أن يشتغل في طلب العلم، However, it is mandatory upon every sincere person to occupy themselves with seeking ilm (Islamic knowledge), وأن يشتغل في تحصيل العلم النافع و لا يشغل نفسه" ايش رايك في فلان و إيش قال فلان في فلان و ماذا قال في فلان و فلان. occupy themselves with gaining beneficial knowledge, and not occupy themselves with “What do you think of so-and-so?”, “What did X say about Y?”, “What did they say about so and so and so and so?”, etc. ثم يكون الشغل الشاغل هو هذا الكلام الذي يضر صاحبه ولا ينفعه. Then, this subject will be their chief concern which only harms them and doesn’t benefit them.
