Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a person mocked another person. What is the ruling for the one who said a word and then realized that it was mocking the person for his commitment to the religion and his diligence in performing the obligatory acts? He remained silent when he realized it and sought forgiveness from Allah.
Answer:
If the one who was mocked heard it, he must ask him for forgiveness for that and make du'a for him. But if he did not hear it, or if he was absent, he should seek forgiveness for him, make du'a for him, and speak well of him in the presence of people. Yes.
