Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the criterion for public forbidding of evil? How does this criterion apply with a person in charge, a manager, or the one in authority? Does one forbid them publicly?
Answer:
No, advice is to be given in private between the one advising and the one being advised; because this is more likely to be accepted and more secretive, and concealing a Muslim’s fault, Allah will conceal it in this world and the Hereafter. So there is no doubt that keeping advice and forbidding of evil private is more likely to be accepted and more protective of your brother. Yes.
