Forbidding the apparent evil in public, from the hadith: "You are a bad orator for your people"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it derived from the hadith
You are a bad orator for your peopleبئس خطيب القوم أنت
that the apparent evil is to be forbidden in public?

Answer:
This depends on the public benefit and the achievement of the intended purpose. If the intention is to educate and warn, then that is good. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to teach him and warn him about this. But if the intention is to be harsh and severe, then that is not permissible. Yes.
