Advising the Manager and Refraining from Backbiting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, this person says: If our manager makes a mistake at work and some of the employees talk about it, what is the way to advise him or to refrain from this backbiting about him? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The advice to everyone, to the manager and to the employees, is that they should not talk about one another or have conflict between them. This is not permissible between them. Rather, they are brothers who advise one another and speak kindly to one another, with cheerfulness, salam, and greetings, because they are colleagues and because they are Muslims. So they should conduct themselves well among themselves. This is the characteristic of Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
Now, may Allah reward you. Our Shaykh, we have a call from our brother Usamah from 'Afiyah.
