Advice for the one who envies her colleague
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, my colleague at work, after I got promoted, started trying to undermine me by every means she can, plotting against me and turning the other employees against me, and so on. I would like the Shaykh, on this program and this platform, to give her some advice, so that perhaps she will regret it and turn back.
Answer:
Envy is a type of envy that is not permissible, and envy is forbidden; it is a major sin. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Ahzab 33:58]. But despite that, you must forgive her and be generous to her, even by giving her some money. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh

Answer:
Envy is a type of envy that is not permissible, and envy is forbidden; it is a major sin. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًاThe presenter:
