What is the ruling on the action of the male cousin's daughter who became indignant and said: "O Allah, do not resurrect me with the Ikhwanis" when she learned that Sheikh Muhammad Hassan would speak about the scholar Ibn Jibreen?

The woman's stance is a clear aspersion against Sheikh Ibn Jibreen, may Allah have mercy on him. This is a form of slandering scholars, which Imam Al-Nawawi warned against in his book "Al-Tibyan," quoting Imam Abu Al-Qasim Ibn Asakir who said, "The flesh of scholars is poisoned, and Allah's custom in exposing the shortcomings of those who belittle them is well-known. And whoever slanders scholars with their tongue, Allah Almighty afflicts them with a dead heart before their death."

The Islamic perspective on mentioning the mistakes of scholars, if any, has already been explained, and Sheikh Ibn Jibreen is one of the prominent and well-known scholars of this era.
