Criticism Is A Legislative Methodology By Shaykh Rabi' al-Madkhali

In Criticism Is A Legislative Methodology, Shaykh Rabiʿ al-Madkhali highlights the significance of constructive criticism as a principle grounded in the Qur’an, Sunnah, and the practice of the early generations, explaining how sincere advice and correction safeguard the purity of Islam, preserve the integrity of scholarship, and protect the Muslim community from misguidance; far from being a personal attack or rivalry, he emphasizes that criticism in Islam is a legislated act of worship—guided by knowledge, justice, sincerity, and mercy—and through detailed proofs and examples, he shows how scholars of the past critiqued narrators, authors, and ideologies to distinguish truth from falsehood with fairness and without oppression, reminding us that when exercised correctly, criticism is a means of rectification and preservation of the religion, not a tool for division or hostility.
