The Meaning of the Hadith: The Muslim Is the Mirror of His Brother

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A hadith was mentioned in which the sister says:
The Muslim is the mirror of his Muslim brotherالمسلم مرآة لأخيه المسلم
Does that mean he should point out these faults to him, Honorable Shaykh, or what?

Answer:
Yes, the Muslim is the mirror of his brother in the sense that it is obligatory for the Muslim to advise his brother regarding any deficiency he sees in his religion, his character, or his appearance. Whatever diminishes his religion, his personality, or his manliness, the Muslim must advise him and remind him of it.
