In this context, we do not accept what the writer attributed to AlIkhwan (the Muslim Brotherhood) of excessiveness, for what we know about them contradicts his saying. Praise be to Allah, they are on clear proof and insight. They treat people in a way that is better and guide them according to the instructions of scholars and officials of the country.
Supposing that some members of the Muslim Brotherhood made certain mistakes or unduly adopted strictness, they are not infallible and it is obligatory that we admonish them (about it) and warn them about potential mistakes so that they could avoid them in the future.
Moreover, the writer when informed about such mistakes that he believes to be contrary to the Shari`ah was more entitled to speak to the leaders of the group, orally or in writing, or advise them about their mistakes. He could even contact His Excellency, the Mufti or the leaders of institutions and inform them about the points in which he criticizes those members, so that the Shaykhs could guide them to the straight path.
However, publishing such criticism in a newspapers is a form of vilification and underestimation of them, and attributing to them things of which they are innocent. This is impermissible for the believer who fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, for it involves weakening the truth, discouraging the call to it, confusing the readers, and supporting the foolish people and transgressors in their falsehood and in their attack against the callers to truth. We ask Allah to forgive us and him and to guide us all to sincere repentance, adherence to the truth and support of the callers to it, as He is the Best of those asked.
