Supporters of the Shiahs are saying that The Majlis had published many articles in support of Khomeini.

Answer

The supporters of the Shiahs are morons and fitnahmongers. Despite being aware of the reality, they spread falsehood to achieve the objective of their deception. Yes, some decades ago we had published many articles in support of Khomeini and his revolution. At that time we were completely unaware of the reality of Shi'ism. But, when the Haqq came to light, we issued a categorical retraction, and initiated our programme of severely criticizing Khomeini and Shi'ism, and we continue doing so to this day.

It will therefore be wrong and not permissible for anyone to propagate that we have conflicting views on Shi'ism. A retraction cancels out the previous view, hence it will be dishonest and not permissible to attribute the earlier view to the one who had retracted it.

this case will not be said to be 'speaking ill'. It will be constrained by necessity - the need to impart benefit or lesson.

When a person sins flagrantly in the public, or when he advertises his sin as a virtue, or when he misleads and deceives people with his sins and haraam stunts, then it is permissible to warn people of his danger. Such warning will come within the scope of Amr Bil Ma'roof Nahy Anil Munkar which is an ibaadat of high merit.
