The question:
What is your opinion about testing people and imposing scholars’ opinions regarding criticizing persons on learners of [religious] knowledge or regarding other controversial issues that caused divergence of opinions between the Sunni scholars?
The answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.
Know that among the Muslim’s features is the fact of taking interest in noble deeds that concern necessities of his life here below and his safety in the hereafter. The Muslim should be interested in: educating himself, purifying his soul from meanness and vice and getting rid of things that are useless and unnecessary.
Knowledge is, indeed, the way to reach these points; so, the Muslim has to seek it and provide himself with it as much as possible. The Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم says: “Part of the excellence of a man's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him.”(1) And among things that does not concern him is: testing people in what is not ordered by Allah عزَّ وجلَّ and His Messenger صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم. Also, forcing them to take positions that are in accordance with his positions by gathering them around one person, sticking fanatically to his opinions and calling to his way; a way on which depends their alliance and disavowal other than the way of the Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم. Moreover, anyone who takes a position that differs from the position of those who test people will be accused of being compromised and heretic.
In fact, such a behavior will cause roughness, discord and harshness [between Muslims]. It will give rise to attitudes that are forbidden by Sharia as hostility, enmity and hatred between brothers in belief. Therefore, the nation will be divided and disunited and its groups will disband because of the evil effects that result from those attitudes.
Nevertheless, this does not mean that we do not reject heresy and heretics, and warn Muslims against it and those who call towards it, after the heresy is determined and the evidences are established. Certainly, fighting religious heresies is one of the most obvious features of the Salafi Way, because heresy goes against one of the two conditions of worship, which is the fact of following the Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم. Besides, the issue of warning [against heresy] and abandoning [those who practice it] is included within the creed of Loyalty and Enmity, knowing that abandoning [heretics] must be kept within the religious limits in order to use it in a well-balanced manner avoiding either negligence or exaggeration(2).
The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah عزَّ وجلَّ. Our last prayer is all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon our Prophet, his Family, his Companions and Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.

(1) Reported by At-Tirmidhi, chapter of “Asceticism” (hadith 2487) and by Ibn Mâjah, chapter of “Trials” (hadith 4111) according to Abu Hurayra رضي الله عنه. It is also reported by Mâlik in Al-Muwatta’ (hadith 1638) and by Ahmad (hadith 1758) according to Al-Husayn Ibn `Ali رضي الله عنهما. This hadith is judged Hasan (good) by An-Nawawi in Al-Adhkâr (hadith 509). However, it is judged authentic by Ahmad Shâkir his recension of Musnad Ahmad (3/177) and by Al-Albâni in Sahîh Al-Jâmi` (hadith 5911).

[Quote] Advice to the du'āt to not be divided / Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi'ee رحمه الله
Indeed from the greatest calamities which the Muslims have been afflicted with, is the being divided of the du'āt (callers) to Allāh. The enemies of Islām try everything to break up their unity, rather even worse than that is that they are very keen to bring them up against one another. If only the du'āt to Allāh would comprehend and return back to the biographies of their Salaf (predecessors), they would discover that they (the Salaf) differed regarding certain issues (where differing may be tolerated), however that would not cause them to harm one another.
Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi'ee, may Allāh have mercy upon him

قال الإمام مقبل ابن هادي الوادعي - رحمه الله
إنَّ من أعظم المصائب التي أُصيب بها المسلمون هو تفرُّق الدعاة إلى الله ويحرص أعداء الإسلام على تشتيت شملهم ، بل أعظم من هذا أنهم يحرصون على أن يضربوا بعضهم ببعض ، ولو أنَّ الدعاة إلى الله عقلوا ورجعوا إلى سيرة سلفهم لوجدوهم قد اختلفوا في مسائل فلم يكن ذلك سبباً لنيل بعضهم من بعض
