In the time of many fitan (trials and tribulations) we are living in, an individual or a group of people are refuted by a particular group of scholars and you hear the supporter of the refuted individual or party responding by saying: "Such-and-such, and such-and-such a scholar has not spoken with regards to this affair. Therefore, I choose to remain silent in this matter."
What Abu Uwais Abdullah Ali (rahimahulllah Ta'ala) will now explain, specifically with regard to the affair of Jarh wa Tadeel, it is not necessary that every scholar has to refute an individual for the refutation to be valid. His statement is regarding the issue of Jihad and its affairs, but the principle can be applied to such matters using the same guidelines.
