Similarly, Sheikh ’AbdulMuḥsin Al-’Abād was asked: Is it from the Salafi Manhaj that if I criticise an innovator in order to warn people against him, do I have

The Sheikh responded: لا، لا ما يجب إذا حذرت من بدعة وذكرت البدعة وحذرت منها، فهذا هو المطلوب ولا يلزم أنك تجمع الحسنات وتذكر الحسنات، إنما للإنسان أن يذكر البدعة ويحذر منها وأنه لا يغتر بها. “No, no, it is not obligatory if you warn against an innovation and mention the innovation and warn against it, this is what is required, and it is not necessary that you gather the good deeds and mention them. Rather, a person should only mention the innovation and warn from it so as not to be deceived by it.” [Taken from his class on Sunan An-Nasā'ee in masjid An-Nabawi, tape number (18942)] Likewise, when Sheikh Muqbil raḥimahullāh was asked about Al-Muwāzanah, he said (paraphrasing): “It is a principle used to defend the violators and silence the advisors.” https://muqbel.net/fatwa.php?fatwa_id=4336 What's more, Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh mentioned that Al-Muwāzanāt is similar to the belief of Al-irjaa which states that if one testifies that لا إله إلا الله, sins will have no impact on his Ēman. The Sheikh also said that implementing Al-Muwāzanāt would nullify the existence of the 72 misguided sects which the Prophet ﷺ cautioned against. Source: https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/153
