The Ruling on Repeating Advice to One Who Backbites
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I always advise people regarding backbiting and I forbid it to them. If I have advised a man once or twice, is it obligatory for me to repeat the advice? I know that a person told me, “As long as you have advised him once, that is sufficient; the Messenger’s duty is only to convey the message.” What is your view on this?
Answer:
But do not sit with him. If you have advised him and he did not accept it, do not sit with him, because if you sit with him, that is an approval of his action.
