Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I am in a gathering, and some of the common people begin to mention some of the faults of the ruler, should I leave the gathering or not?
Answer:
Leaving the gathering is not the solution to the problem, but the correct solution is that you clarify the truth. You advise this speaker with admonition, with wisdom and good admonition. You tell him, you say to him: Your intention is good, and you want what is good, but this is not the correct method. The correct method is to do such and such. As for your speech now in the gatherings, this is not a correct method and it does not benefit anything. So clarify it for him. If he complies, fine; otherwise, leave the gathering. If he does not comply, you leave the gathering. Yes.
