The Ruling on Sowing Discord Among People

The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on discord among people?

The Shaykh:
Yes?

The questioner:
What is the ruling on discord among people?

The Shaykh:
How is the discord among people? Nothing has been clarified.

The questioner:
Perhaps it is talebearing. Perhaps he means talebearing.

The Shaykh:
He did not say so, I mean, my intention is that the discord among people, the one who sows discord, what is the ruling on the one who sows discord among people? Through talebearing, through backbiting. Through various types of evil. This is the one who sows discord among people. This, and may Allah protect us, is a malicious sower of discord, and it is obligatory for the Muslim to do the opposite, which is to reconcile people.
That he calls to Allah, that he enjoins good and forbids evil, this is the duty of the Muslim, not that he be a corrupter among people, inciting them against each other, telling tales between them, inciting some of them against others, awakening discord between them. This is the path of Satan, the devils of mankind and the jinn. Do not cause people to be repelled. Some people, some callers to Allah, repel people, they are severe with them, and they are steadfast, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said ? When the prayer was lengthened, when the prayer was prolonged? Among the people are those who get bored, those who have work, and those who are sick, so do not cause them to be repelled from the prayer, this is discord, so the Muslim takes these matters into consideration. Yes.
