REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Former scholars have advised on signs in conveying criticism. They use fair weight in issuing judgments, and they have general rules for criticizing others and statements.
For example, earlier hadith scholars were also strict in judging a history of hadith. However, under certain conditions, it is not required to address the condition of the opponent or interlocutor. Some important things to consider when conveying criticism. Adab conveys criticism in Islam
Leave If you do not understand
Leave the field that is not understood or not the focus, because it is better to leave the matter to someone who is an expert.
Not Pretending to Understand
Not to be a person who fakes himself to be a figure who understands what is being talked about. Nor did he deliver false criticism for his ignorance of the truth or for his inability to defend the truth.
Realize your capacity
There needs to be an awareness that not everyone is qualified to have a healthy and appropriate dialogue, which results in something good and mature. People who don't know are not the same as people who know. So, people who don't know should not criticize people who know.
Not insulting
Someone who doesn't know anything or doesn't understand shouldn't criticize someone who knows. People who don't know are obliged to ask and understand a matter first. Instead of rejecting and criticizing.
The story of Prophet Musa and Prophet Khidir can be an example to always learn if you don't know. Prophet Musa expressed his desire to learn from Prophet Khidir about things he did not know.
