Is the expiation for the gathering prescribed for the one who remains silent as it is prescribed for the one who speaks?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the expiation for the gathering only for the one who speaks in the gathering? Or is it also said by the one present in the gathering, even if he did not speak?
The Shaykh:
The one present in the gathering says it, because he may have remained silent about forbidding what is wrong, in which case this is a sin upon him, or he may have remained silent about giving advice.
The questioner:
He says:
The Shaykh:
He heard something false and approved of it or affirmed it. It is necessary that the one present in the gathering falls short in some way.
