Question:
He says: What is your advice, Honorable Shaykh, for one who creates discord among people and seeks to spread false rumors to sow discord between them?
Answer:
Our advice to him is to fear Allah, to fear Allah the Exalted, and to abandon this wretched habit, which is sowing discord among people and exposing their enmity toward one another. Yes, what is required is reconciliation. If you see a flaw, you should rectify it through advice, reminding, and calling people to Allah with wisdom and good instruction. Do not exploit mistakes to drive people away from the one who erred without advising him and clarifying things to him. Guide them with wisdom, good instruction, and argument in the best manner. The Muslim seeks reconciliation and does not seek division or incitement among people.
