Shaykh Waseeullaah `Abbaas said:
"From amongst what distinguishes them particularly since their target audience is English speakers is that they present the material in both Arabic and English, so that they are not accused of twisting the meanings of the translated texts, so may Allah reward them with good."

Question: Is the narration of the trustworthy person accepted without any exceptions and without verification? For example, if one of the scholars said: so and so insulted and reviled the companions; in this case is it obligatory upon me to accept this statement and pass a ruling upon it, or is it necessary to verify?

Response: It is absolutely necessary to verify, even if the one who narrated this statement is from the people of knowledge. [This applies] except if he referenced this statement to his book, and the book is present and therefore it is possible for the people to refer back to this book.
As for mere statements without mentioning any basis to them, especially if the person [being spoken about] is present...
If this person was from the early generations and he is known for innovations, or from the heads of the people of innovation and every person knows about him such as Jahm bin Safwaan...if it is said: he is an innovator, then this statement is correct.
As for what occurs due to an error or a mistake, and the people [being criticised] have great efforts in serving the religion, then you find some people passing judgements upon them due to this mere error. This is a mistake and it is incorrect. [1]
