Q: How can we distinguish between being quite about fitna such that the silence is consider blameworthy and delving into the fitna such that speaking about it is considered blameworthy?
A: (Sheik Fawzan) The fitna should not be spoken about except by the people of knowledge and the people of insight, it is not for everyone to speak about it. If the ignorant person speaks about fitna it increases the fitna but if the people of knowledge speak about the fitna and clarify it then it will be extinguished by Allah?s permission. So it is not for everyone to speak about the fitna rather the only ones who should speak about it are the people of knowledge and insight those who know the truth from falsehood and they know they way in which they should speak; it is not for everyone to delve into the fitna, and speak about it and make fatwa and say this and that.
