Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a gathering, I was convinced of the ruling regarding the belittling of my two tribes, so I showed him my dissatisfaction with my status. He persisted, so I belittled his tribe in the spirit of retaliation in kind, and I did not say anything but the truth, with the exception of the offensive act of the Amalaki.
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible. What is the sin of his tribe? If you mentioned his own faults, that is different. If you mentioned his faults, that is fine. If he does not heed, remain silent. Mention his faults so that he may be deterred. But if you mention the faults of others, that is not permissible. What is the sin of his tribe? Yes.
